Join Florida Prepaid For The #StartingIsBelieving Twit­ter Chat

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Bloggin’ Mamas & the Florida Prepaid College Board. All opinions expressed are my own.

I used to find the thought of saving for college for my kids overwhelming, I thought I was not earning enough and I wondered how I was going save for college. That was until I enrolled my kids in Florida Prepaid College.

We choose the 4-Year Florida University Plan which covers tuition, tuition differential fees and other specified fees at a State University for 120 credit hours – the amount generally required for a bachelor’s degree.

With Florida Prepaid we are not just saving for college, but we are also avoiding rising college costs and ensuring that our kids don’t have to get into debt to pay for their education. Did you know that the cost of college has increased 538% since 1985? That is more than twice as fast as medical costs (286%) or gasoline (200%).

You can learn more on the Florida Prepaid website HERE. Remember open enrollment starts on October 15th and ends on February 28th, 2018 so act fast as Open Enrollment is the only time of the year families can purchase a Florida Prepaid College Plan, so enroll nowTo save $25 off the application fee (normally $50) use code Grow1718.
