Is it okay to ask for contribution to college funds instead of gifts and toys for my daughter 1st birthday? We have a house party coming up and I can't deal with more toys.

If it were a party with just family, I would say yes it’s ok. If you have her friends coming over (not just family), I would not do that. Just return the items for store credit or something and invest an equivalent amount into your 529.

It's mostly our close friends and family. Thanks for the advice.

YES!

“In lieu of bringing a gift, please considering contributing to our daughter’s future by contributing to their 529 College Savings Fund fund....”

Thank you. I just didn't want to sound like we are begging for $$

Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree. I’m planning to leave my job at the end of June, should I warn my boss now so she can start hiring? I don’t want her to be blindsided by my decision and hiring is very slow at the moment. Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?
