Is it too forward to offer payment in order to secure a spot at a daycare? (Has anyone done it?)
Our No. 1 daycare has been slowly offering spots (supposedly some spots remain available in our kid’s age group) and has has been intentionally opaque is the waitlist. I suspect ‘Pay for placement’ maybe the reason but I’m not sure if I’m reading to much into it / I do not want to offend the daycare by essentially bribing for my kid’s spot.

Daycares in our area accept deposits that either place you on the waitlist or guarantee you a spot. Is there any info on deposits?

No deposit requested. There was only an application fees

This approach has always worked well for me, “so do I write a check today or do you just want my card information?”

If I’m right on the cusp of hitting the contribution reductions for a Roth IRA for 2021 (will potentially have a greater than $125k AGI depending on bonus amount, but likely won’t exceed $130k), what should I do? I can fully find the $6k right now to a Roth, fund like $5k and then wait until June when I find out my bonus amount to decide what to do with the rest, or should I just do an IRA->Roth conversion just to be safe?
