529 if you use for education it will be tax free gains and some states give a state tax deduction for contributions. I’m currently investing $100/check into mine to use towards the $10,000 cap of student loan repayment, but any excess can go to my future education or children’s education tax free.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.
