“Saving for a major life goal like college can be challenging for many
people, and some just need the motivation to get started,” said Tiffany
Aliche, the Budgetnista and Upromise by Sallie Mae Ambassador. “I’m
thrilled to partner with Upromise by Sallie Mae to share advice with
fellow savers on how to make their goals achievable, and encourage them
to share their strategies for success by ‘saving it out loud’.”

WHY:
|
|
According to “How
America Saves for College 2015,” a study by Sallie Mae and
Ipsos, the overwhelming majority of families agree college is an
important and worthwhile investment, yet fewer than half are
saving for college. Many families are apprehensive and overwhelmed
when it comes to saving for college, and unclear on how to get
started. The same study also found, however, that families who set
a goal are more motivated and more likely to put money aside to
meet that goal.
