This may be a topic for another thread, but on or about Sept. 30, I take a look at my IRS limits to see where I am at and then make any changes needed to my PCRA/401K so I don't end up putting money in the VEBA (or too much of it). Wouldn't it be neat if we could instead of putting into the VEBA, just put it into a tax deferred college fund for the children??
When you hit $18.5k, set contribution rate to zero, take that sum and set up pay allotment to 529 plan.
