How many vacations do you take a year? Do you take the full amount of PTO you have, or are you too busy to use it?

At this point, zero because I usually end up using a lot of my PTO for sick kiddos and then I don’t have any left for a vacation

I’m not great at planning out my PTO so I take time off during my off seasons instead of staying AFW. My bosses align their PTO with their kid’s school calendars though, and I think that seems to work really well!

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

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.
