How do we elect higher levels of group term life insurance? I’ve been trying to do this for years. I get the run around at each # I call... First baby on the way and I’d like to get this sorted STAT.

Don’t go through employer - more expensive and it’s annual (eg based on employment) not fixed duration like term in market. Use one of the aggregators like policy genius of select quote for simplicity... think there’s also a specific term4sale or something website that allows you to select and compare companies.

Perhaps. But until I leave I want 5x my salary on coverage at an extreme discount if $10/mo in addition to my State Farm term life policy.

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

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.
