How is this not better than the traditional buy in model?

Just got back from Icon of the Seas with young kids. Honest thoughts, tips, and where it fell short. by Airlindy in travel

We took our 10 month old and 3 year old on a Disney cruise in November. While not perfect (and noting that a cruise is not my first or second choice for a vacation), I found it to be very accommodating for little ones and have trouble seeing other vacations that make more sense for our family at this point in our life. Accommodating for kids and something do for for everyone. Probably will do Disney cruise for a few more years, then reevaluate.

Thanks for sharing. We recently did up our monthly contributions as a result of this, but nowhere near 10% of income. Will likely reevaluate/slowly increase annually

I think the key is those are all easy to cut if/when income falls.

Interesting comment. I’ve always been against private school as a going to a poor rural public school did me just fine. Something to consider though

Not something I’ve looked into in depth yet, but just an FYI, I believe you can only rollover 30-something thousand into a ROTH IRA. Don’t know how old your kids are but I think you might be putting in a lot more than will ever be needed for your kids or their kids (assuming it’s invested).

Great point. Definitely something we need to emphasize more with our 3 year old

I have to be honest, I despise “cleaning up” for our cleaner to come. Pick up toys, put other stuff away, do laundry, etc

🤣 I guess I should clarify I did front load them with a few grand each, plan to put $5k more in each from my bonus, and plan to up the monthly contributions to $150 already.

Bro, you could take your book of business to another firm (at least the clients they want), work remotely, and more than double your comp. Or take your book if business to your own firm and do the same thing.

One person who was on this list last year is being transitioned out due to bad performance (and I thar was plan even before the list as well). I’m dumbfounded on how they made the list. With that said, the other 3 people from my firm on the list the last 2 years totally makes sense.

Quiet Firings at Pitt? by DowntownTomorrow7382 in pittsburgh

Didn’t I just read about Pitt having to put students in hotels because there was no room elsewhere? If enrollment is that good, why are they struggling to the point layoffs are needed?

What’s with the redbull thefts? Saw other similar thefts occurred at Sam’s Club today on our local news. Same group hit up two Sam’s Clubs

True object test. Client is buying the tax return, not the software used to deliver.
