When you travel, does your firm use per diems for meals, etc. or actual? We use IRS per diems and they seem low to me.

I eat what I’m gonna eat. If they’re coming back and making me pay 5-8 dollars over. I’ll pay it. Per firm is stupid. Reasonable is such a better policy. I’m away from my family for weeks but I spent 54 vs 52 dollars what a sin. Better pay that back

reasonable is too subjective.

Sometimes we use actuals too! Limited actuals! Been on a client that refused to expense any meal that was over $25 (tip included), receipt for everything

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.
