A long time ago, before COVID, when I was looking for work, I read something about the importance of still dressing up like you’re going into the office every day while you’re at home sending out emails looking for a job. It helps get you into a routine and hopefully can mitigate any feelings of worthlessness.

Don’t know if it works for anyone else, but I know it helped me. Anyway, I’m definitely still doing that while WFH (within reason, of course; it’s definitely a more relaxed version of what I’d wear to work).

Whenever I’ve got an interview, I don’t really do anything differently. Just wear the same pair of jeans or pants I always wear.

I wear black, structured joggers. That way if for whatever reason they see part of them, they’ll still pass as normal pants. But they’re pretty comfortable.

Sometimes it does help to get fully dressed up if you want to switch into the mindset. A few psychological studies support it.

Neither. No pants. I live on the edge.

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.
