I want to tell you how I saved $1000 a year on the cost of my education. Let me tell you how I did it: education online. That’s right — that’s my secret. How did getting my education through the Internet save me so much money? Simply because I no longer have to pay for gas to put in my car, in order to travel back and forth to class. Going to the local university I would have to travel about 30 minutes each way — so I would have to fill up my tank with gasoline at least once a week, and with gas prices going through the roof, I figured that I would be saving around $100 a month just by not having to fill up so often. A tremendous savings!
