My retirement account is going quite well though, I currently contributing over $1,000 a month towards that. The recession did damaged it a bit though... but it's still good. I went with a 529, because the Coverdale (ESA) had a max contribution limit of $500 or a $1000 at the time! (bad deal)... But now with the Coverdale ESA, you can contribute up to $5,000. It's a better option than what is use to be. I'm debating about opening one up, and split the cashflow going to college into 2 parts, half to the 529, and half to an ESA. Kudos to you for focusing on it now instead of later!!! We have 2 kids, one is 9 and the other is 6, but so far I’ve only saved $67,000 total.
