Receiving multiple college acceptance letters can be both thrilling and confusing. It's a time when students may wonder if it’s permissible to hang onto more than just one of those golden tickets. But you shouldn’t jump to say yes to more than one offer. Each college admissions offer you accept constitutes a commitment and potentially a legal obligation.

he Internal Revenue Service announced that taxpayers have opened more than 4 million Trump Accounts. Of those enrollments, more than 1 million families have elected to receive the $1,000 "Baby Bonus" contribution available through the Trump Accounts pilot program.
