Does anyone have trouble with businesses that don’t want your program money? I’ve found some items that I would like for my classes, but the vendor does not send W-9s and only allows payment by credit card. This is a larger company and they sell several lines of educational products. The items can’t be purchased anywhere else, and the price is way too high for me to cover, $2400. Frustrated.

My district doesn’t have a credit card - we still do paper POs. What?!?! They want us teaching 21st century skills yet they lack innovation themselves. COVID is the best thing that has happened to education forcing change.

Does your district have a purchase card? Is it possible to complete a PO and fulfill payment? In replacement of the W9, would a sole source letter be valid?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
