Hi all, can someone explain to me at will employment and what the other options are? My friends are at will and said that's basically everyone now, but this is my first job and I'm not sure. They're my age so I don't really trust them exactly either haha. Would appreciate some seasoned advice

At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability.

Likewise, an employee is free to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse legal consequences.

All US states except Montana, I believe.

M1 - you don't have a choice. It's mandated by state law, which allows that employment is at will by both the employer and the employee, and that either side is free to terminate employment with or without cause or reason at any given time.

‘At will’ also means that you can quit anytime without notice. Employers try to get 2 weeks notice but you are under no obligation. At will comes from labor laws around unions (whether something was a union shop or not the right to work and at will , Will all came out of this era.)

Do you live in Montana? If no then you are an at-will employee…

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."

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.
