    Default Cashed and Spent my change jar

    My change Jar is down to 0.25. I cashed it in today and I put it towards Sophia's education however not where it was suppost to go. In addition to a Roth IRA we have for her all our change jar money is suppost to go towards college education for DD.

    I spent the money on a library card to a library one town over instead. It cost $35 a year to be a member for the family and to get her into the childrens programs at that library. We are part of the chldrens programs at our library which we will still attend of course however this library that I got her a card for has really EXCEPTIONAL kids programs. For instance while all the other libraries go on christas break this one has story hour with a Chellist. They have classical music awareness on sundays...it is just great! I'm thinking of homeschool preschhool until grade 1 so over all I think it was a great deal and will help me and Sophia along and exposed to a lot of new things.

    I'm excited!

    Melina I think its a great investment for your little one.

    We belong to 3 different libraries (because of where we live) and we have to pay yearly dues. Its one of the best investments we've made for our kids.

    You can never go wrong in investing in your child's life, even at a young age.
