No issues with MI Homes in Fort Worth, we closed in July. Any specific questions?

Good experience with MI homes.

Toll brothers is solid. Can’t generally go wrong with them or Lennar

They cater to different price ranges. Toll upgrades are super expensive compared to M/I, though Toll still obviously cuts corners through subcontractors like quarter rounds on vinyl floor rather than pushing them into baseboards. Getting an inspector to watch along the build process helps a lot. Any other Qs, my wife is a realtor, we’ve seen them all

1. Cardboard sheathing exterior and missing house wrap (*cough* windmiller)
2. Quarter rounds on vinyl/hardwood (toll)
3. Centered knobs on cabinets but pushed all the way to the top, not aesthetic at all (Megatel)
4. Cheap ass 0.25” granite (megatel)
5. Single layer not multi composition shingle (KB/express)
6. 24” stud instead of 18” (david weekley)
7. Shower “lightly waterproofed” no hardie backer, schluter or full red gard (basically every builder)
8. tacky “marble bowl” sink (david weekley)

Thats only 8, I can go on and on

Toll brothers good- M/I homes are hit or miss depending on market.

Toll Brothers are one of the best. 2nd is Highland homes.

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
