Oof this is a hard one. I think I'll take more money. I've worked at places that have 'great' benefits but very rarely did they fit and meet my needs

Really depends on the benefits, if we're talking unlimited PTO (and you can actually use it) and amazing healthcare coverage then I think I'm going with the benefits. But if it's just like free lunches, then no thanks I'll take the money.

More money for sure. The way that inflation is going these days unless the benefit is discounted rent then I don't think anything would beat more money

like

Probably money. Assuming the benefits are in line with industry, I’d rather have more cash. 401K is really the only benefit I care about.

Compare the monetary value of the benefits against the money if you are money-minded or the comfort value of the additional money against the benefits if you value comfort and happiness more.

At certain point, I would trade wfh or 4 day compressed work weeks for a higher salary. It really isn't worth it after a certain #

Benefits? Do you mean the same corporate horseshit that someone else plans up for you and your can't change anything? Yeah... money all day. Now, if you put that in an HSA, different story

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
