For Anyone With Kids In College...

[Urban Dahlia]

I have a few links that may or may not be helpful to all of you with kids who are in college.

(1) You can rent textbooks for a semester, buy used books cheaply or buy the e-textbooks online at this website:
http://www.chegg.com

When you rent or buy textbooks they, as a free service, give you a 7 day free access to the online e-textbooks until your materials arrive in the mail.

(2) After all the awards, scholarships, grants and financial aid has been applied you are left with a hefty bill for the semester that is due before your child moves in. Don't want to pay it all at once? How about breaking the lump sum into 4 monthly payments? Try this website:
http://www.afford.com

Not sure if this is helpful, but it might be for some of you.

Hilarious LOL!

I used to sell my textbooks back to the campus bookstore at the end of the Fall semesters. Then I would use that money to buy my family all their Christmas presents. The kicker of it all was that my parents were the ones that bought me the textbooks in the first place LOL. So in essence, they were buying their own Christmas presents lol.
