Question re PTO. At this employer, they offer 25 days Earned Time Off (ETO). I thought that was great. Then HR explained that Holidays are not paid but employees are expected to use what they call ETOs to cover holidays that they want to take. This effectively leaves approximately 15 days time off for vacation. Has anyone encountered this type of arrangement?

That’s an interesting arrangement. It’s basically 3 weeks PTO and the other 2 weeks for holidays. I mean it’s pretty in line with most companies. 3 weeks vacation a year and 10-12 holidays.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

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.
