Thinking about adding my child as an additional cardholder on Amex or other credit cards to build up their credit. I don't know if they're ready to actually have the card in their possession, but idea would be to establish early credit history.
Does it work? Is the purpose really to "build their habits" as Amex website suggests, or do they actually benefit from a longer credit history & piggyback off my good credit? First-gen professional here, so appreciate advice & resources.

Feeling like a horrible father today. I always make sure that I’m loving and happy and excited when I’m with my son, mainly bc my father was an emotionally unavailable narcissist.

Talk to me about going from 2 to 3. I feel like 3 kids is such a rarity in this industry that it’s daunting to make the leap. I don’t know a single person in my office with 3 kids. I worry 3 is going take our lives from semi-manageable chaos to complete anarchy. But… I think we want a 3rd. My kids are young (toddler and baby), and if we do go ahead we’d want to do it in the next year or so.

Something I used to do with my father before he died was fixing his home garden. Thanks to that now whenever I get a new property to sell I dedicate myself to fixing the garden before showing it, I learned to do it very fast and very aesthetically. Have you ever fixed houses by yourself to improve sales?

So he is still alive? That was a waste of a suspenseful teaser. And obviously someone was a big baby toda fan.

Debating on whether or not I should get myself a financial advisor. I’m in my early 30’s, about to take a 30% jump in pay, and want to make up for lost time when I wasn’t able to save as much as I wanted and start investing. But I’m clueless! I plan to contribute more to my 401k/rIRA but also want to invest for some short and long term goals like buying a vacation home in 8-10 years and future children’s college funds.

Would an advisor be worth the cost?

When requesting a raise, has an employer ever asked you for the cost of living? As an example- asking you to list out a future mortgage payment if you purchase a home, the cost of health insurance for your family, etc. Seems intrusive and weird.

My mother (60 years old) needs to travel to SFO from NY. Wanted to get some thoughts from folks who have travelled recently in terms of which is the best airline from social distancing and cleanliness standpoint. Delta has blocked middle seat but flies from JFK (internal traffic concern) vs United which flies from smaller EWR but no social distancing.

So after months of internal networking, I was finally able to secure a cloud computing (AWS) role within my company. I have CCP and SA(assc) and I am currently working towards my SA(pro).

Thanks in advance for your input.

Just wanted to share a small win. After 2 months of complete bottle refusal at daycare, my 6 month old has FINALLY accepted it as a way of eating while he’s there. The anxiety, mom guilt, and worry I felt every single day he was there as they squirted milk in his mouth while he cried almost lead me to quit my job so I could keep him home. I’m so so so grateful and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I could cry from relief! 🥹
