My company give me the option of a work mobile phone or using my current number as my work number but they own the phone. Any tips on how do I decide? I like the idea of not have a personal self phone bill.

You definitely want to take the work mobile phone. I would not allow them to have access to my personal phone and they would if they own the phone. That is just me personally.

I’m sorry they own your phone if you opt for using your personal number?

I’d personally always go for a 2nd work phone. Makes it easier to focus and disconnect.

Take their mobile phone. Segregates work and life easier.

Honestly The work phone because you said they would own the phone with your number attached. What happens when you quit? Your number is attached to their phone and now they’re gonna let you have your number back. No just just get the work phone you’ll be happier

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."

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.
