529 or Roth for college?
Parents guess education funds yearly. Rules tangle.
1. The problem
Saving parents guess education vehicles yearly. 529 penalties trap non-college. Roths flex retirements. State deductions vary residency. The hardest part is family-matched picking fast. A child might skip college. That uncertainty makes it hard to save smart.
“Guessing yearly tangled here. I need family matchers with flex flows.”
2. What exists
Advisors, calculators and states compare funds, while guessing persists yearly. Advisors sell loaded plans. Calculators assume returns. There is little help with family matchers plus flex flows for parents.
3. The solution
The solution could be a save-smart engine. It could compare breaks simply honest. It could weigh flexibility wisely goals. Splits could hedge both. The goal would be funded educations, kept options.
