The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Something similar happens to me but with the corners, every closed corner causes me a total panic, they are the traces left by the combat. How long ago were you in the war?

I am a Vietnam vet and now a police officer, and those kinds of mines were a nightmare in the field, and even more so if you ever saw someone die with one, it is something that stays with you and merges with your daily thoughts, I know how you feel, but my support group has helped me with this. If you want you can help.

What combat does to us is not seen immediately, as the years go by we can notice how it really affected us, I think there is no way to totally overcome this.

It's a awful feeling, I know! but then it tends to get less and less each time. If this is not your case you should check that you are not suffering from PTSD.

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.
