Save twice as much for college

College costs are booming. And if you only have a few years left (like I do) and not enough saved (like I do), you'll want to do whatever you can to get your savings going.

Here's one thing you can try: Upromise. With Upromise, you can save for college while doing ordinary things like buying groceries, purchasing gas, and making online purchases. Best of all, it's completely free!

And, you can invite friends and family to help you save as well! Here's how it works:

• Invite family and friends to join Upromise and help you save.
• They accept your invitation, then shop online, buy groceries, dine out and more
• Any college savings they earn go to your Upromise account

So ask grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters (who aren't saving for their own children's college accounts), or any friends that would like to help you child.  Upromise members who have other people helping them save at least twice as much as those who don't.
