How much is goal to save for each kid’s college?

Only one child here, and it’s a tough question. So far I’ve just put money away in a 529 program, but I’m still not sure what all types of expenses that program is good for...and what happens if they get scholarships?
$50-60k? That would cover in-state (Ms State or Ole Miss), out of state to LSU would be 2-3 times that, Auburn 4.
OT answer, $350k.

Let them pay for their own education. The stakes are higher when you have skin in the game

My wife and I both put ourselves through school. It'll be even easier for our children so they'll be expected to do the same.

Dog Charm School isn't that expensive, so we're probably just gonna wing it.

I would suspect you'd be able to finagle in-state.

I’ve been encouraging our kid to become a plumber so he can help Dad and I pay off our student loans.

150k per kid but not all in a 529

$14000 $3500x4 wife is university professor so free tuition but I want kids room for a study so we will pay for dorms. He can pay for his own meal plan or eat his Dads Cajun food.

If you don't have a Roth IRA or haven't maxed out your contribution, that is a good vehicle to save for college. One of the eligible withdraw options is college tuition. If your kid gets a scholarship and you don't need it all then it is extra retirement money.

20k/kid by age 5 is our goal.
On pace for that now.
