Husband and I are looking to do a 4 night trip in January. We love St Barth (Cheval blanc), Harbour Island (coral sands or Dunmore), and I loved parts of bermuda. We want to try somewhere new with the same feel. I know it’s hard to top St Barth, but looking to get close.

Have thought about La Samanna in St Martin, Cobblers Cove in Barbados, Round Hill Jamaica (although I think I’d get bored).

What we love:
- great food options
- charm and character (ideally design forward for me)
- places to shop and walk around safely
- a hotel with pool beach spa etc
- I can’t lay around all day so need to be able to go off property for meals and exploring

Ideally ~$1400 or less per night. I’ll hopefully be pregnant so I can drive us to dinners and such.

Any recs??

Hi, I have a financial advisor and all but I’m interested in feedback specifically about my 401k from the masses.

33f married business owner of 9 years. Business has grown to $1.3M size this year.

Personal savings:
$100k in money market
$275k invested
$140k in 401ks
Put $200k cash in our house

Mortgage $3700
No other debts

We bring home $16,200 salary cash each month. My husband get commission quarterly and it varies. My business has grown a lot this year where I’ll likely be paying myself a $200k+ bonus over the course of the year (I pay it out monthly based on AR).

My husband does 7% with his 401k but as a business owner, should I start maxing out my contribution each year? Honestly I kind of forget and wonder if investing it works just as well?

We will have a strong inheritance down the road but hopefully not for 20 years so we need to be comfortable now.

So 1) how are we doing 2) am I being dumb about 401k

On our 3rd positive pregnancy test as of today (following 2 chemicals). Husband has high DNA fragmentation. We’re planning for IVF later this year if things don’t improve. But we just got our first positive test since finding out about his high number. It’s so hard to not be hopeful despite knowing the history. He has a really high sperm count so I’m praying maybe one of the good ones won. Anyways, how do you cautiously smile while also keeping hopes low 🫠

Looking at venues for a friend. Curious if anyone knows rates for a small (50-person) reception at The Carlyle? Dinner and dancing.

Hii got a positive on 10dpo and went for my first beta 12dpo, it was low (11) but progesterone very high (27) so doctor felt good. It doubled to 24 on 14dpo which was also 3w6d so hadn’t even missed period yet. I’m going back tomorrow to check again since it was so early.

My FRER have been getting darker since 10 but feel like they’re kinda steady now, boobs very sore and some stomach issues. Just nervous with those hcg numbers being low!

Anyone have similar experience?
