I’m expecting a job offer tomorrow and they let me know today that they have no 401k matching program (?????). Is it greedy for me to bump up my salary expectation $2-3k to make up for it?

Nope. They have to compensate for that somehow. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

If it’s a small company that’s growing, you can ask if it’s part of their plans in the future to align with what’s competitive in the market - something like that.

Oh yeah that sounds fishy, CD2 is correct. I think if you throw in “competitive” and “market” that can convince them to do something about it and hear your case for extra $!

Definitely ask, especially if you aren’t vested at your current job!

Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

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.

Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.
