2. Does it affect financial aid?
The first wrong conception that most people have is that: if the kids have
the 529, they could not get financial aid. The formula to calculate the
financial aid includes: parents asset, 529, and income. The income plays
more important factor than the others. Usually the 5% of asset is calculated
to offset the needs of the financial aid. The 529 is calculated as parents'
asset even the title is the kid's name. So it doesn't hurt to have a 529

Interest expense (also lots of other expenses) can offset rental income, I
think it's safe to say most real estate investors end up not paying tax due
to book loss, if her household income is low, the rental loss can even
offset regular income and ends up reaping real tax benefits! 这个具体细节比

如果是算法问题，只有一个cpu和几G内存的话，还能如何。。无非就是每次把数据读一
