[quote=Anonymous]PP, thanks much for these links. My oldest is 10 years away from college. I am thinking about stashing a lot of savings in retirement accounts instead of starting a 529, and also putting some savings into house renovations. Seems like that will "shield" these assets when it comes time to apply for financial aid. Our household income is only about $110k (at the moment) so we should get some aid anyway. But I figure if we start 529s, that will just decrease how much aid we get. Does this make sense? [/quote]
