[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was feeling negatively that we never started one and just did regular stock instead. 16 yo. Glad we did. [/quote]

Why would you be glad to pay more taxes? And get the same returns?

Ours is invested in 529 in Mutual funds, but we have 15-20+ to select from.  And it grew for 18+ years tax free.

Maybe glad isn't the right word. We were not able to even start one until our kid was older so we've made more in gains than taxes so it worked out. Not everyone has 18 years but that must be nice![/quote]

Everyone has 18 years, unless you adopt an older kid.  When you decide to have a kid you know college is a likely path and that it costs $$$.  So you plan and save.  
So yes it's nice that we lived frugally in our 20s to be able to afford kids when we had them and then still lived below our means to save for the future [/quote]

Can someone explain why Utah is the greatest? I do $2500 in md annually to max the state tax limit plus more in ny since it has lower fees than ny - is Utah even cheaper fees? I'm about to start my 2nd kid's 529 and wondering if I should copy internet strangers and choose utah...[/quote]
