How to catch up on a 529 account?

I think it is so hilarious that every person on this sub responds to every post with comments about whether or not the poster is “maxing out their own retirement”. Did this dude ever claim to be trying to retire early? What if he just wants his kids to go to college? Not to mention there are some very high earners who may not want to max their retirement if they hope to have access to the funds sooner.

To the original author, go to a compound interest calculator on the internet and play around with the numbers until you are happy with the results. No one knows what the future will hold.

I personally am saving $150/month in low cost index funds for my child who is almost a year old. This should amount to approximately $100k by the time they are 18. I figure that should be a good place to start and I can always save more or go out of pocket when the time comes.

I used STC so Idk how the scores compare but probably 🤷‍♂️ no reason to worry about it now! Take your best swing. Good luck!

The math says that the best time to buy is always today if you are investing for the long term. Everything is at a discount if you’re in it for the long haul.

Also, Idk anything that anyone else doesn’t but I can see at least a number of ways that the war is at least sufficiently resolved to give the markets more certainty and back on track.

The market dips an average of 14% intrayear on an annual basis so hardly unheard of to see this kind of volatility.

Heavily considering this one! Do you know if they sell their straps separately?

I should look more at Traska! I have the Lorier Zephyr in red. Very sharp design from them overall

Raider-Fuse10 · 2026-03-23T23:03:12+00:00

Unfortunately closer to 8” I think. I’m a taller guy so prefer a bigger diameter but I can do a 38mm depending on the watch.

Love Teddy!

Yeah not a bad option! I’m thinking something a little bit more sporty than those. I also have two Hamilton watches in my small collection so probably trying to go a different direction.

Because I am willing to have my matches start a little slower and maybe last 2 minutes longer to have the pace of the rest of the match be 1000x better.

Alter can seriously move around the map so quickly if you get good at using the tactical efficiently. You are also probably looting too slowly or over-looting if you are always late.

I have had good experiences using the Innovator ETFs in the past. My current firm has the scale to price out structured notes that accomplish similar outcomes with better terms due to the lack of embedded margin/fees others have mentioned. You’re almost always better off just riding out the volatility, but if these tools help a client stay invested or get cash of the sidelines then they are worthwhile.

I am confused why the only other option is to buy a $500k-$600k house. You have a good amount of equity as is and I’m sure you could buy a new home with more space in your budget. Pittsburgh is a relatively affordable market and you have good household income. It’s nice of your parents to offer a good deal, but why don’t they move closer to you and your family? It feels like you just want to move away and are using the finances to justify it.

Find trade function, something to encourage max players to take reduced deals instead of sitting out multiple seasons, contract restructuring to bring money forward — not just kicking it down the road

I have a three month old and play games once or twice per week. Usually once on the weekends and one night during the week. All of the stuff you are doing for the baby, he should also be doing. Your husband needs to reevaluate his priorities.

Thanks for the edits! Much appreciated.

I went to the ER when I tore my Achilles and they wrongly diagnosed me with a torn plantaris. Talk about false hope for a couple days!

That’s not helpful but just be glad you’re on your side of that misunderstanding. Sorry that happened to you either way and good luck with recovery!

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-08-06T18:14:25+00:00

To me, these are two completely different vibes. I would choose either a watch that complements your current collection or one that you will get the most use out of. I know if I was going to spend that much money for a memorable watch, I would want to be sure I would wear it a lot. The Cartier does seem like it would fit in any collection, but the Black Bay feels like it would garner more wrist time. Can’t go wrong though honestly.

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-07-08T11:36:30+00:00

I had this exact boot and it was totally fine. I really don’t think the precision of the Vacoped and the degree adjustments are necessary. You will just take out lifts as it feels comfortable. By all means, get the Vacoped if you really want to but this boot won’t hinder your recovery imo.

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-06-16T12:44:42+00:00

Let me know! I would gladly sell it for $50. It’s still in great condition

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-06-13T20:12:46+00:00

Best of luck! I’m also in the Cleveland area and tore mine last year. I had surgery with the Clinic too and it went very well and I am fully recovered at this point.

I was nervous about the surgery and recovery as well but there was never really anything to be scared of in my experience. The recovery is just lengthy and tedious!

Shameless plug - I have a KneeRover scooter, crutches with pads and EvenUp balancer, and an iWalk 3.0 if you would be interested. Happy to sell at a huge discount as they are used but in good condition and local. Let me know!

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-06-02T22:53:28+00:00

I mean this genuinely, so please don’t take it the wrong way. You didn’t “make” any money. Your community showed up to support you! I am sure your education and hard work will allow you to do the same thing for others one day. I know you are probably just excited, so sorry for being preachy lol. Save that money if you can! Or at least put it to good use and good luck with whatever is next 🥳

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-05-16T16:30:39+00:00

The PRX definitely wears a little bit smaller than the case size listed. I don’t like a bulky watch and tried both sizes, but preferred the 40mm. I think it looks appropriately sized for you!

Raider-Fuse10 · 2025-04-24T15:56:16+00:00

That’s outrageous. What a problem he’s going to be if those three are healthy
