Interesting, Lafalum84. Thanks for sharing your plan.

Wondered if anyone had any thoughts on whether it would be good, now, to sell the stocks (only about 5 grand) and move everything over to a bond-based, no-risk 529 fund? Son is going to take the $ out in about a year for college so not sure whether it would be worthwhile or just continue to gamble (even though hadn’t started out intending to!) on the market for 40% of our 529?

I know it’s not a ton of $$, but it’s painful to (in retrospect) see the steady progression of small deposits ($300 here & there) being drained away by stock decline.
