How do you stay healthy while everyone is sick in your office? I am 47 and a mother of 3, if someone gets sick in my office, it goes through my entire family. The kids have stronger immune systems than I do, I can’t handle being sick at all. I take a vitamins, I don’t know what else to do.

Hand sanitizer, Emergen-c, vitamin D, magnesium, potassium, wellness tea, plenty of sleep. Not sure what (if any) actually works but it can’t hurt. When my mom was a teacher, she used to completely change clothes and practically do a surgeon level scrub down when she got home.

Adding to all the other suggestions - regular exercise.

Also of those things D1 mentioned. Try incorporating elderberry and getting outside for walks.

If you get really sick, wear a mask if you feel comfortable.

Yes wear a mask even if you aren't sick but your sick coworkers don't wear one. There is no shame to protect yourself and your family even if you may look odd in the open office.

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.
