[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you have about 16 months before your first starts school and five years before the second?  Stop all retirement saving now and pad that 529 while you can.  You may actually get some aid considering your spouse's high medical needs.  Then do a cash out refinance or home equity loan to cover the gap.[/quote]

Thanks. We are already just contributing the min to get max match, but maybe better to stop completely as you suggest. We will not get any aid, period - the rental kills that possibility. Yes, I’ve tried to get agreement to sell it for many years —  spouse disagrees. Also tried to fund 529s - spouse disagreed, wanted to max retirement since we can’t borrow for retirement. [/quote]

Guess it should be up to your spouse to tell your kid they didn’t want to save for college. Is this the disabled spouse?  Sorry, your rental property sucks. 600k in the stock market would have made 120k a few years ago.  Even in a mediocre year it would destroy your rental in returns.  5k a year is god awful.  Unless you meant 5k a month??

Sorry op, actually I think funding 30-35k a year is really generous.  [/quote]
