I have started the 529 plan for my kid but finding it difficult to figure out what’s the right number

OP: same here. I am contributing $200/week. Don’t know what’s the right number.

I have a brokerage account with 7k in it, split 70% VOO 30% SCHF. I now have an additional 11k I can add - how should I allocate it? Should I move towards an 80/20 split just in current funds or add things like a growth (VGT) or high dividend ETF (VYM). All of my retirement accounts are already maxed, FWIW and don’t need the $ for any large purchases needed in the near future.

I’ve driven the same beater Toyota for 10 years and it’s starting to die. 26 years old, no debt, $125k in Roth retirement accounts, $25k in cash, no other real assets. Leaving DC to telework from parents’ house for a few months so no rent (temporarily at least). I’d put $10-15k down and the rest would be a 0% loan from Mom & Dad
