2 days agoThe 529 to Roth IRA Rollover That Unlocks $35,000 of Tax-Free Money for a Grandchild Under SECURE 2.0
Unused 529 funds can be rolled into a Roth IRA without tax or penalty, effective January 1, 2024.
One Redditor suggested putting $50,000 into a 529 plan the day your child is born and then forgetting about it. Of course, you have to put the money into a good ETF for the funds to compound, but if you do that, you may have enough money for your child's college education.
"The Reddit user expressed concern that the $200K he saved might not be sufficient, as other parents reportedly provide significant financial support, including lavish spending on cars and extra allowances."
