But the important question, do you or are you _seriously_ planning on 
investing in a 529 plan?


For reference,

"Named for a section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), 529 plans are 
tax-deferred savings plans designed to help pay for college expenses. In 
some states, qualified withdrawals for these costs aren’t subject to 
federal or state taxes."
