We had about $120k per kid. Now have a college junior and college freshman. Both will likely have $$ leftover in their 529s. Older kid is at Virginia Tech and the younger going to Juniata. Each school's cost is <$30k/yr

We saved enough for 4.5 years of VA state schools for each kid. Neither went to a state school so we’ve been cash flowing the rest. HHI north of $500k

We have about 50k saved across 529s for 3 kids - 5, 3, 1. HHI 250K.

529s have not been a priority, we have focused on maxing retirement and backdoor Roth contributions. We don't plan to be able to pay for college with 529s alone. We will cash flow a big chunk and encourage merit scholarship opportunities and in-state tuition.

Oldest kid starts college this fall. We’re paying through cash flow and didn’t save a specific amount for college.

$50-$75k per kid (we have three). They're all under 10. We're contributing the maximum to our 529s each year. HHI is $350K.

HHI-N/A, it was very high, now low, very glad we saved for college.


Without including actual numbers, this comment is useless. How much did you save? What was your high HHI, what is it now?

I think the main goal of this thread is to give people a sense of how they compare to others with similar HHIs and kids at similar ages, so if you don't give us numbers you might as well say nothing.

We have about 180k left. two are out and the last one has 2 more years of medical school. 180k should be enough to cover it.

~$60k, 4y/o, $350k HHI

We put $40k ($20k/account) in when she was born because you are able to take the DC deduction over 5 years. I think we'll front load another $40 next year and call it funded unless we have some kind of windfall.
