529 plan for my graduate school study.

With short time frame, the growth would minimal.

Do you have to start grad school soon?

I would not ease up on the 401k

I am planning to go to grad-school full time next year. Which mean I
have to quit the current job. With 70k+ plus salary and single, does
it make sense to create an 529 account for myself and contribute as
much as possible this year. Would I get much tax benifit. I am already
maxed out on 401k, should I ease up on that and contribute more to
529?

Appreciate any comment.
