My biggest issue with them is what do you do when you leave the firm. Even if they let you take it away when you leave you cannot move it to your next provider / firm...
Better to keep it separate in my opinion.

I've already got my own situation figured out so I've never bothered with it. Usually they have pretty reputable providers though, no?

Are you ok bro?

Usually, group rates do provide a bit of a decrease in rates. However, there are life insurance options and we need to be aware of what’s offered. While there are advantages to group plans keep in mind that this option goes away when you leave or retire. Know what you’re looking for and make an informed decision for what you’re wanting to accomplish.

It’s usually fine. But you should verify and also determine if it’s enough insurance for your situation.

Trust? What do you mean

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.
