We came to an understanding:

Only gets better. Throwback to about 10 years ago when I had to bring out the small laptop and set it next to the big screen so I could peep at the game and sharkboy and lava girl 3d at the same time. Funny seems like it was last night

We were talking about 529s and just came across this pertinent blog post/article:

When Is It Too Late to Contribute to a 529? | White Coat Investor

At what point does it not make sense to contribute to a 529? Or is there always going to be some benefit to saving for college that way?

For those that have kids in sports, please understand the message. If the coach thinks your kid is good enough, he will play, it's that simple. If not, your child needs to get better. It's OK to tell them that. I've dealt with parents irrationally approaching me about their child's playing time and I put it to them the same way Doc expressed it.

Also fellas, make sure your wives/mothers of your children are on board with that as well.

Had my son’s birthday party there and their program really is great. They really strive at empowering the kids by words of affirmation followed by physicality to back it up. We just never went back because during my sons party they found a live snake on the mat.

my daughter goes to a fancy school but we are not fancy people. her kindergarten classroom is doing this thing where the family shoots and uploads a video of their kid talking about their neighborhood. the two videos uploaded so far are super nice videos and their houses are like wow! we didn’t even start ours yet. our **** gonna look so poor

anyway, the thing that got me was today, we had to do a family activity at her class where we all write a poems. my wife tells me to look at the soap in the bathroom and i had to pee so i pop in and wash my hands after. the soap smells super nice. i look it up and while its not out of reach, its still crazy to me that it’s in a kindergarten bathroom.
