I put in about $10K a year since birth, it is about $280,000 now. Child is 17 years old. Invested mostly in S&P 500 type funds and then shifted things to a balanced portfolio a few years ago.

DC decided to do UVA in-state, so there will be enough left over for some of grad school if DC later decides they want to do that.

college junior - $530,000 after 5 semesters paying full tuition. started early and 100% invested in equities. consistently made deposits on pullbacks. dollar cost averaged.

No idea, maybe $100-120K, stopped a few years ago plus a prepaid. One parent will be retirement age so can pull from that.

HS senior:$100,000. Going to oos public
College junior: $23,000. Tuition is paid for this year and we have to cash-flow senior year, which is about $50k

10 year old, $110k
It's just in a target year fund.

College freshman $115k
Hs junior $90k

We have capped what we will pay at <$60k tuition and room and board a year. College freshman is at 43k/year all in at an oos public, w merit.

I also have $100k in stock I’m willing to sell when the 529s runs out.

Make sure you have it invested well. I've know people who contributed to a 529, but never chose investments for the money. So the money sat in a money market fund and made very little. The money I had invested for my children at age 5 more than tripled in amount by the time they went to college. I kept it in moderate growth accounts the whole time.

$25k for 18 year old which covers two years of college. $12 k for 11 year old.
Wish I had never contributed because I my other accounts accounts show 4-5x the returns.
529s returns are probably market returns.

Hs senior - 120 j
HS sophotmore - 120 k
1st grader - 45k

Whyyyyy are you on this board?

Because OP is trying to figure out if they are saving enough. Good for you, OP.
