We are in the final countdown to find those perfect gifts. Today I’m sharing a great way to boost your holiday gift giving thanks to our friends at ScholarShare who are sponsoring this post as part of my Ambassadorship for 2015. 20131224_153847

Truth be told I’m still nowhere close to finished shopping for gifts.

I’m focusing so hard on giving presents that are useful, will be well received, and that are life changing. Yes, life changing. For little ones that can be a toy that they really want, or an experience they will never forget… or some extra help for their college savings account.

Now that my two older ones are closer to college than not, I’ve completely changed how I think of college savings. If I could go back and talk to the younger me, I would have started saving even earlier, and I would have encouraged my family to contribute to the girls’ accounts. 

With Emmy we started planning much earlier.

To be eligible for ScholarShare’s matching promotion, California families will need to:

  1. Open a new ScholarShare College Savings Plan with an initial deposit of at least $50 – to be contributed and invested at the time the new account is opened. 
  2. Enroll in the automatic contribution

*The matching deposit of $50 will be made to the eligible ScholarShare 529 account on or before 11:59 p.m. PST on June 30, 2016.
