6 year old--$80K.
Newborn--will be starting soon, but cutting down part of the 6 year old's contributions.

We use a Vanguard-managed 529.

Just kidding ... This is stressing me out! We have 20K in one. Why have 2? Any extra in 529 for #1 can be used for #2,
I have 4 different 529's for 2 kids, as I get different management and options...one is TrowePrice, one is Vanguard etc
I have maybe 90k for the 14 yo and the same for the 11 yo, even though I started saving later for the younger one; different portfolios give different results

VEST fees seem really high http://www.virginia529.com/documents/vest/fees/va529_vest_fees.pdf

I think all things being equal, the College America load upfront is ok. Much lower fees on the back end.

+1 VEST is better


I guess it's inertia. Started with CA... Was thinking of moving to VEST actually.

Does anyone have a usaa 529? That's the one we use and I heard it is not tax deductible??

Don't have one. DS is a genius and will get a full ride.

I'm stressed out reading these responses. I thought we were doing good with having a 22 mo old and $4200 saved. We don't make that much ($150HHI).

Thank you. These posting were getting me stressed out. We are doing out best, but haven't saved that much yet.
