Upromise

The Tulsa State Fair started this week.  Going to the fair has been a tradition in Dayna's family for many years.  We pick one night and make sure we eat a large turkey leg, grilled corn and cotton candy.  This year Dayna's friend Julie went with us.  A good time was had by all.  We particularly enjoyed the wine tasting booths.  Hopefully, after my comments in yesterday's blog about reading IRS literature, you don't think I'm a freak.  Yes, I am a bit weird in that I find the information interesting.  There is so much to keep up with regard to financial rules and regulations.  Sometimes it's possible to find some real helpful nuggets of information that can make a difference in one's finances.  Briefly continuing the education funding discussion from yesterday, you might find the website upromise interesting.  Apparently, lots of companies have teamed up with upromise and will throw in money toward your child's education whenever you make a purchase at one of these companies.  There seems to be some pretty big names associated with upromise ( i.e. McDonalds, Coke, Kelloggs ).  This may not necessarily be for everyone, but it seems to be a pretty good concept.
