529s? Anybody open one?

We have one from Alaska through John Hancock. We were advised by our financial person to go with Alaska, I just trusted that was a good idea. The great thing about 529s is that they are transferable and remain tax free ad long as they go toward any education (I.e. if your kid doesn't go to college, you can use the money yourself to go to golf school)

Wait, so you can open them even in states that you don't live in? I have no kids yet, but good to know for the future!

I live in CA and we did the Utah plan. It was the best option last year when it was opened.
