I started saving for my future kid's college through a 529 Savings Plan a decade ago (when I was 25). Hello, Type A! Contributions and growth are tax-free, similar to a 401k plan. The avg. annual return is 6-7%, forecast for to 18-20 years and the kid(s) are set for life.

If your kid doesn't go to college, you can change the beneficiary or roll over into a ROTH IRA. https://www.rbcwealthmanagement.com/en-us/insights/think-youre-too-late-for-a-529-plan-think-again#:~:text=If%20they%20start%20saving%20right,value%20would%20reach%20just%20$33%2C284
The money I make on Farcaster, I will use for:
- Planned Parenthood
- Food equity @ No Kid Hungry or Feeding America
- Early childhood education for local NYC charities
- Teacher supplies across America via Amazon
I slept 10 hours last night. I should feel like an Egyptian goddess but I broke my coffee machine this morning. Maybe subconsciously, I don't need it?

Bullish on mortgage as an employee benefit.

Progressive EVP. It’s changing the way companies support their teams. Employers have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their employees' lives not solely equity based in a volatile tech market.

Carlotto via Blackbird! Everything from food to service was excellent.

Would highly recommend for special occasions or client dinners.

I'm learning how to use wallets. Here's what I'm confused about and constantly stuck on. Why does Coinbase have so many apps for different wallets that don't naturally speak to each other? Coinbase, Wallet, Smart Wallet, and Base. I understand that Coinbase takes on the fiduciary responsibility which provides utility to networks.

I understand you can have multiple wallets for different use cases. It's like different accounts under a bank; savings, checking, 401k, loans, etc. However, that's often under one unified "experience" if all are under the same institution irregardless of division.

I had a very unique high school experience. As juniors, we had to decide if we were going down the “college prep” or “tech prep” route.

- College prep was university (only 10% of my graduating class choose this)
- Tech prep was trade school (the rest own business or have steady jobs in my hometown)

Everyone was forced to take trade courses as electives: culinary, auto, wood shop, horticulture, etc. If you decided TP, you would have used the credits towards the Associate degree and joined the workforce right after HS. The school had a whole career center. CP kids just became well rounded people.

It's crazy that "big wellness" has convinced a majority that grass from New Zealand ground into powder is better for your health than real fruits and veggies. It's actually banned in New Zealand. This is my breakfast.

With the constant attacks on Education; what/what not to teach, budget cuts, closings, consolidations, and school shootings every day... what's the value of public education anymore unless you live in a high net worth neighborhood?

Before you come @ me, I went through public school K-12 but had a graduating class of 100 people or grade school with 1 teacher for every 10 kids. I come from a very blue collar family working on factory lines.

Dinner! Snails with a green butter sauce for starters. The main star is the ginger soy steamed basa fish with broccolini.

Happiness is a feeling, and feelings are fleeting. If you're constantly trying to achieve happiness, you'll forever chase "the dragon" or an elusive goal. Instead, embrace and truly savor those moments when you do feel happy. However, don't let your life be defined solely by these transient moments.

Focus on your values instead. Live by them and make decisions based on them to achieve eternal stability and fulfillment.

- 4 years ago, a 10-person Identity fintech took a chance on me, which I grew to 400+ people in the US and UK.
- 1 year ago, a 400 person AI Security start up took a chance on me to grow to 2k (this year) in North America, UK/EMEA, India, APJ, & LATM.

Both are on Forbes this year... again! :) Talent branding is everything.

As someone who leads HR and Talent Acquisition, I'm LOVING these market trends from seed to growth stage companies:
- meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.
- living proximity bonus of $xxx per year if you choose to live near the/an office.
Denver food scene is underrated. 🤤Blown away by everything I’ve consumed which is a big statement as a NY’er. Brb, going onna cleanse this week.

+ senior bear - breakfast burrito
+ sputino - chicken under the brick with butternut squash risotto

Vegas is always a good time. I accomplished a lot my first time there.

- company offsite at our new gorgeous campus
- watched chris play craps (i’m scared of gambling)
- endless crab legs at a mega hotel buffet
- mariah carey live concert and danced
- saw rachel kickconnell at the cosmo
