Hi! Im looking in to opening an account for college for 3 year old but am so confused about how each state has their own 529 plan. Im wondering what the difference is between a state 529 plan vs opening one with a brokerage account (like Fidelity, which I use for retirement). Any one have advice or suggestions on best options or what to do? Thanks!

From what I remember, you can buy a 529 from any state, even if you don’t reside in it. Also one of the biggest differences is what funds you have available inside that plan, since every state will have different companies managing the assests.
