There are those who pay for college plan. However, such payment needs certain amount of money needed to be paid monthly or whenever needed. This may be troublesome for parents who don’t have a lot of money to allocate. A great alternative would be to open a bank account which they would only use as savings for their child’s study.

They can ask for 10USD from all their siblings. Say, they have 5 siblings, and they’d all give 10. It would be 50 a month plus their monthly saving of let’s say 150USD, all in all it’s 200 per month. Multiply it by 12, they can save 2400USD a year. The earlier they start, the more money they can accumulate for their children.
