I know college is a scam blah blah but the $35k ROTH conversion option is nice, gives them a huge leg up on retirement.

Probably, but depends on how the money would be invested alternatively.

If the alternative is you spending more money on useless GC shit, 529 100% worth it.

If the alternative is you buying real estate that you'll refinance to pay for college, then a 529 may not be worth it.

It may depend on your state. I can deduct $10K of contributions from NY tax. So definitely worth it. You also can use it on pre-college school now too.

CA so nothing. I just have $45k of i-bonds sitting there earning a paltry rate at the moment, want to put it somewhere more productive. I already have $120k in their 529s.
