this year, we are doing the "Elf Thing" with the kids. it's been so much fun creating different scenes and hiding "Link the Elf" around the house each night. i wanted our elf to not only make the holidays fun and full of Christmas cheer, but i also wanted him to remind the kids of the reason for the season, and also ways to live life in a happy productive way. so tonight, our elf will be showing up at the bank holding a ScholarShare 529 gift card!
"why?" you ask. because we love our ScholarShare 529 accounts over here. and it's a good reminder that we need to keep up the good work and add funds to our accounts.
so i made this fun little bank on the computer, printed it out, and glued it to a cereal box. isn't it cute!
last year, i wrote about how the gift of Scholarshare would make an awesome holiday gift. well, this year is no different! i love having a ScholarShare 529 account for each of my kiddies because i know that each time i fund some money to my kids accounts, i am making it easier and easier to pay for their college educations in the future. it's a state-sponsored, tax-advantaged 529 college savings plan that’s helping families and individuals plan for the cost of higher education. a plan that offers measurable tax benefits to support parents in saving for their child’s college education. it’s available to any citizen or tax payer. and just about anyone can help contribute including Grandparents, other family members and friends.

research shows that children are 7x more likely to go to college if they have a savings account of any amount. i have FOUR kids who will most likely be attend college. this though can be VERY overwhelming....that's going to be A LOT of money. but i have found that saving money for college doesn't have to be painful at all. we've created ScholarShare 529 saving plans for each of them, and i've been saving in small realistic steps that will result in saving big in the end. by simply giving up a fountain soda once a week or eating at home instead of going out once a month...i've been able to put money away for all my kids' college.
and good news! i am linking the FREE Printable Elf Bank here, so you can make one for your own elf.
it includes everything here. use the gray background included on the printable to wrap the sides of the cereal box.
