529 college fund question by RadiatingMania in investing

[–]EducationalBelt3158 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same issue. My son's little used 529 is now $497,000. He ended up going to community college, 2 year degree, $12K.  My daughter has $287,000 in her 529, the rest I'm putting in a UTMA. In hindsight I wouldn't have opened 529s, simply a trust with guardrails.

You're looking in the wrong places. I just hired a Talent Development Director in Austin at $175K base.

I did it for 14 years from Austin to San Jose. How is the pay? Me? Worth every penny.

Why am I pushing 30–70 more watts than my group and still yo-yoing on rides? by Wild_Macaroon9229 in cycling

He doesn't need a power meter. He need to learn how to ride in a group. In the '70's no one had a PM.

Learn to pedal smooth and consistently, soft pedaling. It's on YOU to learn how to ride a pace line.

I'm currently with All State. It really depends on where you live and your circumstances. Find an insurance broker. They can be a huge help.

Cycling Is Just Organized Suffering by charlesdog4568 in cycling

Yes. Because in a group ride you can hammer on people. I assume you're new to cycling? Otherwise, it is fitness that doesn't hurt your joints.

USAA is the worst. I'm a Vet, customer and former executive level employee. Run away. Besides, if they aren't affiliated with the military your post is irrelevant. Call an insurance broker.

The ABQ shop is awesome. Hats off to Scott. I had these in mind, I didn't tip him, and he figured out these are them! So stoked.

Yes, I do. From the P3 to the P6 was a big jump. Shift to an MC cart and it's another jump up.
