Update: this is happening.  Took the easy option of a 529 through Vanguard (which is a Nevada plan).

Next question, how much money should go in this thing? I have no idea what a reasonable amount would be for college in like 18 years.

exactly how entitled are you planning on your children being?

I'm looking for something where my kids could either go to a non-shitty school tuition free, or go to a fancypants college and not be crippled by student debt.

I'd say like $2,500 a year starting at birth could get them a nice farmy KSU degree (tuition only) but who the hell knows with that long of a run up.

NE's is through the state so it's not an option as far as I know.
