Great Schools

Great Schools

Thanks to Olga Quinn

We have great schools here in Texas, both public and private. My husband and I made a personal decision to send our children to private school for a number of reasons—the extracurricular activities offered, the level of parent involvement, and the fact that it looks good on college applications, to name a few. We’re happy with our decision, and our children all love their school, but it definitely has forced us to evaluate our budget. While we know it’s worth the cost for us personally, private school is most definitely not cheap. We also chose this year as the year I would quit my job and start my own business, so things have been even tighter than usual. We’ve started clipping coupons and shopping sales whenever we can, and thanks to a recommendation from a friend in the same boat I checked out Business Electricity for Euless companies. It turns out that we are one of a few states that allows its residents and business owners to select their energy providers based on price. We can shop around and find the best value for my new company, which is a wonderful way to save money. We’ve started seeing some cost savings that are giving us a little more breathing room in our budget, and I’m feeling more fulfilled than I have in years with my new company; who wouldn’t want that?
