I am fairly certain the Westin hotel staff are refilling our in-room water bottles with tap water (the safety snaps are always broken). My wife is pregnant and we don't know WTF to do?

Tap water is safe unless you're in flint or West Virginia. Other than that, ask them for more water.

I am fairly certain the water in the faucets isnt toxic for pregnant women. Of course, after Flint, who knows? I'd suggest buying some bottles outside at first, and taking the cracked seal bottles to the lobby and complain loudly. Alternatively, the bellman almost always has bottles with them - those have got to be unopened. Perhaps getting some from them?

I'm not worried IF it is actually tap water, we are not dumb. The point is we don't know what it is filled with or it they put something in it. If you ever had a pregnant wife, you know how careful they are.

Who knows who handled it or how the handled it. Is it tap water? Were their hands clean after cleaning the toilet in our room? There are too many variables that make this situation disgusting.

Well we have multiple people in the same room, so we all thought the other people opened the bottle.

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.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
