Now is the time to begin saving money for Bible college! If you have been planning to wait until this summer to begin saving for Bible college, please consider this instead. "If you have been planning to wait until this summer to begin saving for Bible college, please consider this instead."

College will begin about eight months from now. In order to register for college, you will need about $1,500, depending upon what classes you take. It is important to determine now how much you would need to save each week to enable you to accumulate the funds needed for registration.

To give you an idea on the benefit of starting to save now, consider this:

If you save for 32 of the 34 weeks from January through the end of August, you would have saved the following amounts by opening day.

Amount Saved Per Week	Total Saved

$25.00	$800.00
$30.00	$960.00
$40.00	$1280.00
$50.00	$1600.00
$75.00	$2400.00

If you saved for 12 of the 13 weeks in the months of June, July, and August, you would have saved the following amounts by opening day.

Amount Saved Per Week	Total Saved
$50.00	$600.00
$75.00	$900.00
$100.00	$1200.00
$125.00	$1500.00
$150.00	$1800.00

As you can see, you will have substantially less money at the end of August (even if you save nearly three times as much each week) if you wait until summer to begin saving. Obviously, NOW is the time to begin working that part-time job and saving for Bible college this fall!
