I targeted 10k per kid or at least 4 semesters at a church school.

My oldest has done well enough with scholarships she will have money left for grad school. My next kid will likely be using his 529 up before graduation. But he'll be making plenty by working.

For those of you with a 529, how did you figure out how much to contribute?

I figure it's unlikely we'll have enough for our kids to pay for all of college

If you do, it is separate for each kid

You can change the beneficiary, you don't have to have 1 per kid

True, but it limits the tax deductibility

Maybe I'm weird, but I plan on only saving enough for their first year,

We have one per child. I believe funds are transferable between siblings
