They offer *free wire fees, but the actual execution of the wire is tedious and requires at least three business days. If you use Ally Bank, there's a $20 wire fee but that sucker goes out when you want it to go out. Plus, you don't have to call them to send it.

(*I had them for about a year and dropped them because of the clumsy performance of the wire.)

Call the Humane Society or your local favorite charity, and I can almost guarantee they will provide you with an attorney or recommend one. I sure wouldn't do a 'Do-it-Yourself' will by yourself as that will be so easy for Sissy Dearest to set aside. You need water tight as your estate is significant enough to cause the vultures with lawyers on their back to circle.

Don't count on the school picking up a parents' slack totally. Unless they've been in daycare/preschool since two-years old, those kids are going to be sick a minimum of twice a month. And, if they were like mine, they would stagger they days they had to stay home.

You will be surprised how many sick days you will have to sacrifice in order to pick them up from school and run them to doctor's appointments. They can't go back to school until fever free, either.

Don't do it. The return to an office would not be worth it unless 1) you have a nanny or a GMa ready to step in and/or 2) a husband who can take all that time off his WFH situation - for three kids. All the time. Don't forget your added expenses like clothes, dry cleaning, gas, car maintenance, and just the unpaid labor of a daily commute.
