There is no payment or fee accepted for missed moments. The choices you make about your boundaries define much more than just the next step in your career path.

David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech - “This is Water” - at Kenyon College. Most everything that Henry David Thoreau wrote or said. Most everything Seneca wrote or said.

Don’t be quick at the expense of being right. In client service, there will always be the pressure to be responsive and fast with your advice. However, the vast majority of the time it is an internally created deadline and not a true emergency. You have to balance being responsive with also providing advice that you would feel comfortable defending years from now. No one is served by “shoot from the hip” advice.

Make time to help others find their path. I have derived far more satisfaction from seeing people I've casually and formally mentored succeed, promote, achieve and thrive than from any such personal achievements in my own 25+ year career.

I've never seen anyone fired for trying to negotiate a salary increase. It might be intimidating, but if you approach it thoughtfully there is very little downside.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

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." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

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.
