Work from home

I’ve been fortunate to have good medical plans. Generally healthy but between childbirth with an emergency C-section/complications and preventative meds now that are $1000 + per month but paid 100%, I would say that’s been very impactful. Work from home is also up there - 100% remote.

My company paid for me to go on educational leave to get my masters. What an amazing benefit. I could never have done it without this benefit. I will be forever grateful. My degree has already helped me to earn a promotion. So happy !

uplifting

The most significant benefit I’ve ever had was being able to “cash in” sick time to use toward gym memberships or equipment with no cap. We accrued an amazing amount of sick time and since I was never sick I always banked it. The impact it had for me was being able to go to the expensive “boutique” gym basically for free and also getting a nice bike and kayak for “free”

Paternal leave. It’s amazing having that time at home to help the wife and bond with the new child.

All these comments are laughable…parental leave is a benefit? All of these benefits are standard in Europe.

Then laugh and be in Europe.

So, I started working full-time at a retail store for clothing and accessories and after a brief dispute with my supervisor (my bike broke down which made me come in 20 minutes late to y shift) they told me that it seems like working is not my priority, so to make it easier on me I would only get 20 hours a week. Things are tight as it is, I can't start working half-time. Please someone share some advice or any job opportunities you've seen out there

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.
