Your mother is kind. My DD did the same, but I don't reimburse her. :)

I do, but I'm in management so basically I'm overhead. My recommendations above still stand You could do it all online or walk into one of the many Schwab or Fidelity branches. I'm not sure what Vanguard's footprint look like.

This is starting to sound like the beginning of an old joke, a water polo player, a squash player and a wrestler enter a bar....

I counted more "I love..." than "I'm tired..."

And NOW, the fun begins. :)

Block 0-NAAA (whatever that it is), Block 1- Stem Detail, Block 2H-PROTRAMID San Diego, Block 3-MAGTF WEST, which she wasn't supposed to get, so she's trying to get out of it. I'm not sure if that's possible.
