Curious if anyone has hosted an au pair here in Sacramento? I know they're popular in bigger cities like NYC and SF.

How much is your cost going to go up with RTO?

I live in the suburbs and will commute into downtown. It'll likely cost $200-300 per month for gas. Another $200-300 for a parking pass. So that's $400-600 extra per month. Which is 10-15% of my gross salary.

But I'll still have a stable job and get to serve the great people of California so yay 😁🥹

How much are you putting away for your kids per month?

The standard saving plan for kids is 529. If you're able to contribute $500 per month at 8% return over 18 years then that's about $225,000. I feel that's hard to do for one kid, yet multiple kids.

With tuition and housing going up faster than inflation, $200,000 doesn't seem enough as a launching pad. The kid will start at $0 when they graduate after spending it all on school.

Is there another reasonable patch to take?

The lease is for 36 months with $5,000 down and $349 per month before taxes.

I read that Honda is offering a $3,500 conquest for the prologue. The dealer gave $2,000. There's no $500 military discount applied yet. Also, I'm 100% disabled veteran in CA so the DMV registration fees should be waived.

Is there a way I can get the dealer to give an extra dealer discount? So far the discounts have from the government and manufacturer.

Thanks!
