Can I keep my 529 college funding account?

Question

I'm looking to save for college; but not only for undergraduate school, I'm looking to have a decent sum of money by the time I finish grad school. If I opened a 529 college funding account, would I be able to keep it until the time I finished grad school, and than use the money to start paying off the bills I made?

Answer 1

I think you are putting the cart before the horse here.

If you are in school, why would you put money in a 529 account rather than paying for your more immediate needs like tuition?

Bad idea.
