I am supposed to start a job at TJ Maxx and they sent me a bunch of stuff to e-sign and it was 401k and market place insurance besides tax forms and agreeing to adhere to policy. My question is it weird that I wanted to read everything before signing it? I kept get emails each day after it was sent saying you need to sign. I finally got fed up and signed it. Should I have before actually reading all of it?

Yes. You should have. No employer is sending you too many documents you can’t just sit down and read them in a day. The fact that you didn’t is worrisome.

220 pages small print docusign. Not including handbooks. Took a couple days to read.

Why don’t you just use chat gpt to read the files for you and summarize what you need to know

It’s a really great online tool (for free). You can copy and paste the docs in there and ask it to summarize for you. Really great resource

I don't understand what prevented you from reading it. A lot of those types of forms may contain legal boilerplate that you can, in a practical sense, skim through. But you could read the pertinent material. I would agree that you should read things before signing.

Not weird, but unusual. Not many people read those documents as they are dry reading. But if you want the security of knowing what you are signing, then go for it.

As to the reminder emails, you can thank previous employees who did not follow through and sign their stuff and later tried crying foul. Nowadays, employers set those things to automatically nudge the candidate during onboarding to ensure they are legally protected.

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.
