      There are different options but we opted for my529. You can read on the tax benefits. We have auto payments every month

          @EveryoneShhh I should have clarified. We went with Utah 529 and yes it’s a popular one!

              I'm so confused about the 529s. If they decide not to do collage (hopefully in 15+ years there's another options that's not as expensive) they can't use the money towards anything other than education. Are there any other options?

                @Colorful-three you can change the beneficiary of 529 to another child if you have others going to school. You can also roll it into a Roth IRA (with some contribution limits) if you opt not use it for education
