Peace,

My son wants to practice on ramps with his bike, but we only have skate parks near us. I know there's a general concern for safety and a history of lack of etiquette from bikers. I also have heard of risk of damage to ramps. He doesn't do tricks necessarily, just enjoys using the ramps. If it's crowded, I don't allow him to go in. What do I teach him about skate parks etiquette so that he doesn't get in anyone's way and everyone can stay safe?

Thanks

Update: Hey all! Thank you for your tips and input. It was helpful and put me at ease. We decided to take the bus to a bigger park, so I had him put on roller blades instead as it's easier to transport with. We found everyone there! It seemed pretty harmonious and it wasn't too crowded. Of course, that changed when about 20 BMXers showed up when the sun was setting. It almost seemed like there was an unwritten rule that boarders go earlier and bikers come at sunset. Regardless, it was fun and he has a lot of work to do. 💪🏼🫶🏻✌🏻

For those of you in private practice, do you contribute to an IRA? If not, in what ways are you planning for retirement?

Right now, I'm working FFS only, about 27 hours per week. I'm a single mom and it has been helpful in managing my household. I will be obtaining my C soon and am looking into PP as well as some other small business ventures. I'm not great with money and I prioritize living stress free, so working 60 hour weeks is not something I necessarily want to do. I live very frugally, not much spending other than travelling economically.

I currently have a small 403b from a full time job I worked previously for over 10 years. I've also been working for 23 years on books, so I'm expecting a decent social security payment as I will continue to be working until retirement age.

Any advice on securing a comfy retirement?
