Thoughts on quitting right at the end of maternity leave? Feels like cheating but if you’re looking for an “out” anyways, would certainly help with the transition...

Make sure there’s not a provision about return duration. My company (a WPP firm) requires 6 months’ service post return — or you have to repay all salary+benes from leave. Ouch

They’d lay you off in a heartbeat while on leave....so....?

Not if it’s part of a broader layoff, no. I’ve seen it more than once.

I think the quitting part is fair game any time, but be reeeeeaaaaalllllll flexible about helping them if they need it while they find a permanent replacement for you. If you’re lucky, they’ve been handling things fine and you get off easy without having to return. But if they’re up shit’s creek and have been scrambling since you left, don’t burn that bridge by bailing. You’ll want that reference. Come back part time/contract/work from home for a limited time if they truly need you. And you’ll feel like a good human for helping.

You mad?

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.
