#EveryChildAnRESP Mommy Blogger: Planning & Saving for Their Bright Futures with SmartSAVER.org
This post was originally published on RaisingMyBoys, October 13, 2016, as part of SmartSAVER’s 2016 #EveryChildAnRESP Back to School campaign. We thank RaisingMyBoys for participating and amplifying our education savings message to help us reach more parents.
When I started university back in the 80s, my tuition was $582 a semester. I worked a summer job, then part-time during the year, lived at home, and came out debt-free. Those days are long gone.
