Me: Saw in our local paper yesterday that I graduated from Central Community College on December 5th. I was definitely not not aware of this! I called and I graduated with my diploma, but not with my actual degree. I guess that's something!
The kids: I looked at GradSave accounts today and my mom and step-dad contributed $100 to each child today!
Total contributed to daughter through GradSave: $115
Total contributed to son through GradSave: $165

If you transfer straight from your account, I believe the minimum to deposit is $15. Otherwise you can do a GradSave gift card for less. I haven't really decided what to do with the money in the piggy banks. Since we are doing the spend/save/give system, I'm not sure how to handle the money that they receive before they started that system. Daughter had $35.00 in savings account before we started doing spend/save/give with her. And my son is 5 months old and he already has $65.00 from gifts and I would put my spare change in his piggy bank.
I think that any money saved for them before they turn 3, which is when we plan to start with our son, half will go toward paying for first car and half will go toward college?
