I don't work for Meta, but how many more years do I need to work in tech? I'm in my 40s and my kids are young. I've already set up 529s for them, and am paying for some expensive home upgrades.

#27It's always been hard to know the extent of how draconian tracking actually is (IT pros tend to not talk about it much).
