Milton still has the high taxes though, right? Better to go to Forsyth?

Curious - why are you focused on high schools right now if you have a 3 year old? I’m considering moving up north as well but focusing on the lower schools.

Milton. 100%. Resale. Proximity to airport + city. Options/entertainment. Schools.

Did you look at Kings ridge as well in your decision making?

Yes. Seems nice and may still be an option for younger ones.

Milton is like a private school basically

Very good. It looks like a college campus.

Milton is soooo lovely. Milton hands down.

Milton is better than Gwinnett schools. If you’re looking close to Suwanee then get into lambert’s school district. Phenomenal school and much lower taxes.

100% do Cambridge. I went to Chattahoochee HS and wish I went to a school as nice as Cambridge. Peachtree ridge is good too, but Milton is such a nice area. Great place to raise a family

Hi, can someone tell me if I need to manually claim higher rate tax relief on Accenture UK workplace pension e.g. via self assessment? I had assumed it was all taken care of out of the pay packet as it’s a net pay scheme but I have a financial advisor telling me otherwise. It’ll be the first I ever heard about it if so…guess I’ve lost a load of money…???

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years.

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
