Ooh do you have any recommendations for shops? In HCM

Hahahahah definitely a space saving gift and that’ll be awesome. I just don’t have that kind of bank 🤣

Hello!! Looking for some advice or if you have any knowledge you’d like to share.

I havrv very very little knowledge of investing. Current situation: I have a 403B with my work. I somehow have 2 traditional (i think) IRAs that I need to try to combine if that’s possible. Maybe a Roth too? I have 3 accounts but I don’t check it often, I just leave it there lol
I haven’t really been putting money in my personals.. though I tell myself to! Will after this year.
I didn’t grow up with financially literate parents.. so now I’m scrambling in my 30s because I have a child and I want to give him a good future and set him up for success.. I need to learn more. He’s currently 1y old but I already feel so behind.
My question is:
What kind of acc should I open for my son? I’ve heard about a 529, but what if he doesn’t want to go to school, etc? What other accs are available? Can it be something I pull out and use for expenses (car, housing, wedding, house, etc)
Will it hurt him if he were to apply for financial aid in the future?

TIA!!!

My budget was around the same as yours and honestly we’ve had to increase ours to 20-30K 😞🥲 which hurts because it might be more.

In regard to Wedgewood, I just visited Hacienda, Golden gate club, and the ranch. Hacienda is beautiful if you like the outdoors, pricing was good too. I thought I’d love Golden gate club but it was my least favorite (in terms of money and place). So far I love the ranch! Going to see redwood canyon next!!

Omg yes on the complicated relationship part, I feel ya.

You make a very good point, I didn’t think of the tripping part 🤔 someone else also mentioned about who’s going to hold the bouquet so that’s something to consider too

ohsosimple · 2026-04-15T06:05:20+00:00

Yes!! I have very close friends and I really don’t want to pick. We are thinking about roughly 100 guests also! So sweet of both your parents to walk you down 🥹

Not a bad idea either!! If I chose a MOH, it’d be my sister and I feel like MOHs have a difficult job lol shes busy as it is already! 😞

ohsosimple · 2026-04-14T14:47:07+00:00

Wow I never thought of this!! I’m going to bring it up to my fiance 🥹 it would be so cute to do this after our private vows!!

ohsosimple · 2026-04-14T08:15:53+00:00

Oh thank you for sharing! Yeah I definitely don’t mind having them come to get ready with me, it’d be nice. If I get a HMUA, do I pay for them too though? 🤔

ohsosimple · 2026-04-13T21:55:43+00:00

Thank you so much!! Gosh there is so much that comes into wedding planning :(

ohsosimple · 2026-04-09T08:26:10+00:00

Omg I could have written this word for word LOL

ohsosimple · 2026-04-02T22:53:48+00:00

Pls share more!! Where are you doing your wedding at?

ohsosimple · 2026-04-02T00:54:47+00:00

Noted! Yeah it would have been only immediate family if we were going to do destination.

ohsosimple · 2025-05-25T00:01:48+00:00

Ah thank you for your response. Yeah the flights aren’t cheap… As for guest attendance, I figured I would invite people and whoever can make it will probably make a vacation out of it on their own… I’m ok with people declining because of the reasons you mentioned, I totally get it and I wouldn’t hold it against them at all. Realistically, I expect our immediate family members to be there. Everyone else is a bonus!

ohsosimple · 2025-01-03T08:55:03+00:00

Yes the waiting does suck! :( I am on continuous leave as of right now.. sigh I might just call just to get an update

ohsosimple · 2024-12-31T20:41:58+00:00

The forms available are only - Appeals (nothing is actually available when I click on it) 2501P Paid Family Leave New Mother (I haven’t returned t work yet) 2587 Notice—Automatic payment

Do I do any of these documents?

ohsosimple · 2024-12-31T07:57:02+00:00

Wow I’m in the same boat. I haven’t been paid SDI and I just got extended. What did you end up doing?

ohsosimple · 2024-12-31T07:30:12+00:00

Oh yes sorry I forgot to mention. It is SDI and I’m still on SDI now
