Very cool ! where was your Pelican Parts hat and t-shirt?

I should probably go and educate myself a bit more on 529s. My wife and I may be having kids in 1-2 years and that's a good plan to consider. And from the looks of it, it's never too early.

my only concern is that if you're over invested in mutual funds, what happens if the real estate market crashes? Similar to 2000 - Nasdaq went from 5,000 to 1,200... could happen again.

Let's say you're in the account for 15 years with 300K saved and then market tanks. You could lose more than 1/2 of it in 1 year!

Can you opt NOT to invest in mutual funds in a 529?
