How I Paid For College on a Paper Boy's Salary

This is an interesting article that makes me chuckle because we don't think a "paper boy salary" is an acceptable form of college funds, but this fellow certainly pulled it off. He started saving when he was eight with the small dollar bills he got for odd jobs but with increasing pay and furthering interest rates, he had $20,000 in his college savings account by the time he was graduated from college.
I learned that it doesn't take a lot of money in the beginning to add up to a lot in the end. Set savings goals every month and put away up to that mark. By the end of ten years or so, you will be surprised at how much money sits in that bank account. Also, don't just save what's "left over," take away the savings first then spend those "left overs." Making it a priority leaves far more money in the bank account and less at the mall.
College isn't an all-or-nothing endeavor. Take out the loans if you have to, get it done, and get it paid back. Everything and anything is possible.
