FINALLY!

Welcome to the club! This was a personal challenge for me for a while, now I earn almost double what he does! (And he’s a high earner too)

He is very supportive of my career which is more demanding than his, and we both enjoy the fruits of our labours.

Well done and enjoy the good times 💸🍾

Congratulations! My husband and I own a small business but I worked a corporate job for 15 years. I was the “bread winner “. My husband never cared who made more. We’re in it together and support each other. He definitely does his share of housework, dishes, laundry, etc.. Those are the best kind to have. Always very supportive And was proud of my accomplishments. So happy for you. Love seeing women flourish!

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.
