In this video, I'm going to go over exactly what a 529 College Savings Plan is and walk you through the different key factors you should be looking for when you're considering opening one up. Simply defined, a 529 is a state sponsored tax advantaged education savings plan designed to be used for qualifying educational expenses, including school tuition, room & board fees, books & supplies and even college meal plans.

There’s a lot of fine print, which we’ll cover in a minute. But if you do everything correctly, you will be able to transfer up to $35,000 in your lifetime from a 529 account to your Roth IRA. That lifetime $35,000 limit is per person. And, you can do this transfer regardless of your income.
