529 plans
« on: December 22, 2018, 07:45:02 PM »
When my daughter was born I started investing in the Pennsylvania 529 plan.  I think it might be better to invest in a different states funded plan for performance (I still can get all the tax benefits.)  Does anyone have any recommendations for which states have the best plans?

I believe both New York and Nevada use Vanguard and have some of the lowest fees.  I'm not sure about PA, but some states offer a tax deduction.  You'll have to figure out if it is worth it or not.  Some of those same states have very high fees, which offset the deduction.

Keep in mind that the PA 529 plan offers creditor protection.  I'm not sure if investing in another state's plan does the same.
