it's better to open custodial account instead of 529 since 529 is only used for kids college but custodial account can be used for any type of expenses.

Especially if you are saving in 529s, is there an amount you are targeting?

Yeah . But it is better to have atleast bit on 529 because of the tax advantages . Even if you end up overpaying , funds cane be rolled to other siblings .

I would recommend buying index funds in 529s. Companies fail all the time. Looks at kodak, Cisco, Intel, IBM,  how they lost value over years .amazon is shitting on retail . Its value is from AWS .
