8 kids, 8 529 plans started by parents.

[SP_Recordings]

Yes, we have a 529 for both kids - started by us (the parents) when they were young.

[bkpoulsen]

We as parents have significant student loans of our own with a reasonably high income making it nearly impossible to assist. EFC was high so our daughter qualified for very little aid. Curious if appealing EFC is possible as our resources are tied up to resolve our own student loans??

[RC-qllp]

As far as FAFSA form filing concern if the student has a joint saving account with the parent, will this be parent asset rather than student asset similar to 529 account?
