Funnily enough, she's in the last semester of undergrad and her 529 plan currently has more money in it than when she started, thanks to this bull market we have enjoyed (and a cheap in-state school with merit scholarships).

That's a good place to be. We started the 529 late, so there wasn't as much money in it. But it still helped. We didn't have it in a bond fund (I forget which Vanguard options we had it in). She exhausted it by 2016 or so (about two years' expenses, as I recall).

That should help with med school, I would think. Very expensive. Seems you planned very well.
