BLUF: Relocation doesn’t include breaking my current lease. Am I in the right to get that covered? Story below:

Got a new job offer and want to work at said company. They offered me relocation after asking from the initial offer. I had reiterated to the HR rep that I needed it to break my lease. Had to accept the offer before the exact detail of the relocation were given to me because the HR rep did not know. Now I have an accepted offer but the relocation will cost me an additional $3k+ to break my lease. Start date is supposed to be Jan 6th so it puts me in a bind with the holidays and this HR team has been extremely slow with everything.

Did you quit your other job? You can give everything back and move on. Just say you can’t afford the move and either they make it up to you in salary or gross you up on the relocation. Frankly, it’s BS when a firm says they won’t talk relocation until you accept the offer. You need to understand all of the economics when you change a job. I once had a company tell me they would go over the health insurance when I accept the offer (my child requires specialists), so I walked. Turns out my out of pocket would have tripled under their plan.

TLDR: look at all of the economics when taking a new job (especially requiring a move).

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

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.
