Folks,what are your thoughts on vendor discount or perks that you get from your employer? Were they useful? I check perksatwork but found nothing substantial,only useful item I purchased was Microsoft word and excel package for $10 ,it’s off the shelf now…

I've never actually used any of those kinds of services. All of the discounts are for things I would never pay for anyway, and definitely wouldn't pay the companies we have deals with.

We use BenefitHub. They are pretty good. And the service they provide for you to connect local businesses with them for additional discounts is pretty good too.

Discounts and benefits offered by vendors may not always seem impressive. Still, it's good that you were able to get the Microsoft Word and Excel package at such a low price. Those are very essential tools. I've also seen varying experiences with perks, but occasionally, you find a real treasure.

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.
