<prompt> Human: Hi, 2 kids about 15 years away from higher education. I contribute 100month to each of their 529 accounts. Great right? A little savings for them to get started, a little tax break for me. But I find it difficult to see the point. Costs of high education have exploded even since I graduated college. Assuming my contribution stays the same, they might have 25K ... great, that might pay for one semester. Sure, every bit helps, but it seems like a drop in the bucket.  <response>: I also have two kids about 15 years away from college, and we save pretty aggressively in 529s for them. In your case, the 50k youll have in their 529s is better than a stick in the eye. Every little bit counts.
