[quote=Anonymous]I kind of agree with you. I feel like we need to save more for our only child, but am less inclined to do it in a 529 anymore. For one thing, special needs are in play and it's not really clear whether the traditional path is going to work. I think there's an equal likelihood of local community college for two years then completing at a 4-year program, or a more expensive, program with supports at a private 4-year. Those are wildly variant costs. Also, I do think there's going to be some serious shaking out of cost models in higher ed after this pandemic. Things simply cannot continue the way they have been going. So, while I don't think things are going to work out for our kids the way they worked out for us (I had a similar experience to yours, finance-wise), I do think there are too many uncertainties in play to lock all of that money into a vehicle like a 529.[/quote]
