I know with a traditional FSA, you can spend the entire annual amount on January 1, and even if you quit on Jan 2, you don't have to reimburse anything.

Is the same true for a Limited Purpose FSA (vision and dental)? I'm leaving in a couple weeks, but have only spent about 30% of what I've "committed" to contribute for the year. Should I rush out and buy the best prescription sunglasses I can find, or is there any way to roll the LP FSA funds over to a new employer/plan?

Turns out it is also a use it or lose it, no-reimburse deal, so I bought a $700 pair of sunglasses yesterday. One of those purchases I'd never make otherwise, but I'm not letting that money go to waste!

Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

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."

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.
