Chicago Bachelorette

COLLEEN’S BACHELORETTE WEEKEND
CHICAGO, IL

I just returned from a ridiculously fun bachelorette weekend in Chicago in honor of one of my best friends, Colleen. I know it couldn’t have been easy planning a bachelorette weekend in such a large city, but her Maid of Honor, Maggie, did an amazing job with everything! Some faves from the weekend included dinner at Mercat a la Plaxa (a delicious Catalan tapas restaurant on Michigan Avenue), day drinks at Castaways on North Avenue Beach, and Bye Bye Liver, a drinking comedy show at The Public House Theatre.

    Love this blog! I am currently living in Chicago and traveling to Columbus for work, so it’s so great to know a bit about the city and the coolest spots in town to check out to make the most of my months there. Are you familiar with any similar blogs for Chicago?

2.) Your Ohio's 529 plan be used NATIONWIDE - not just for Ohio schools.
3.) Your Ohio's 529 doesn't just cover tuition - you can use it on any qualified expense, like room & board, books, computers, internet services, mandatory fees and MUCH more.
4.) 529 plans aren't just for 4-year colleges. Ohio's 529 can be used at ANY type of school - whether that's a 4-year college, trade and tech schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships and more.
5.) There are SO many tax benefits - ALL earnings, including interest, grow tax-free, 529 plan withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified higher education expenses, and you can deduct your contributions from their Ohio taxable income, up to $4K per year, per beneficiary.
