With 100M+ dependent on their 401k for #retirement, #FinTech attack on DC plan space is welcome. twitter.com/psb_dc/status/…

@thesamparr Try Mamaroneck or Larchmont. Beach town feel right outside the City!

Spent the day in Westport, CT. Shockingly amazing. 50 miles outside NYC but felt like a beach town. Not considering moving at the moment, but anyone live there? What is your experience? How’s it compare to Greenwich, CT?

Excited to launch a set of new partnerships to help businesses expand #401k & #403b benefits! 🎉 🚀 planadviser.com/digital-401k-p…

@anothercohen @Compound What about using a CRT?

@Compound Also, there is no plug at the end of this thread. Do not follow me for more startup advice or threads. This is a rare moment, like a solar eclipse

Several friends have now quit or been laid off from their jobs at startups and have asked me what to do with their options. Not exercising could mean millions left on the table, exercising could mean liquidating a huge chunk of cash that could go to 0. Here are my thoughts:

There’s something about moving to the suburbs with two kids that makes classic rock sound better. @classicdad

Exciting to see @Fidelity help their clients embrace #crypto #bitcoin as a mainstream asset class. nytimes.com/2022/04/26/bus…

What did your childhood smell like?

Having been on the receiving end of a >$30K surprise bill that we spent over a year fighting, I’m hopefully folks won’t have to go through this in the future. It’s nuts it’s taken so long to pass this! @NYTimes nytimes.com/2021/09/30/ups…

I love this story about @toasttab’s contrarian bet on Android to use the technology to build a true PoS and #FinTech ecosystem for restaurants. Fortune favors the bold! google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc…

@ekp They did at least pay generously. I’m unaware of any other co’s that size w profit share to such a broad set of employees. Even Wall St firms aren’t as generous. mailchimp.com/culture/invest…

@rkesteva @jakemcgraw Exactly what happened to me!

@jakemcgraw @sarahkliff So dead on. It’s amazingly opaque. I submitted our bill $$$ to @nytimes for our 1st child which took 2Y to sort out & cost over $50K for a vaginal birth w >$7K coming out of pocket. It took us over a year just to correct them when they tried to bill us as out of network!

A lot of stories I read follow this @nytimes script, but I’m more curious now that #tech jobs are accessible no matter where you live what that means for the #futureofwork and #startups. Feels like we won’t know for another few years. nytimes.com/2021/09/03/bus…

We’re still in the very early innings of the development of API’s to unlock payroll data to drive 401K, income verification and other use cases. Payroll data is still really hard to unlock. It’s going to be a game changer for a ton of industries. protocol.com/fintech/payrol…

@anothercohen @ericbahn I found - After 100 days, it gets better. After 6 months, it starts to get fun. By age 1, its a blast. I’m now one week into my second child 👶 though…so feel ya.

@ericbahn 10.5 months to go!!

Today marks 6 weeks with a newborn and I literally don’t understand how anyone says “this is so much fun, let’s have more”

#401k providers and #advisors have had to disclose their fees for years in the 5500. It’s not perfect, but has led to remarkable changes in fees. In #healthcare, we deserve that same transparency. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Exciting to see @seanlippel & @fintech_io continue to grow & build on the secular trend towards DeFi applications. #fintech #defi #crypto
