This site often gives me something new to consider. I have always contributed the maximum I could to my 401k. Until about 5 years ago that was 100% traditional IRA, I honesty forget when the companies I worked for started the Roth option as part of the 401k.
Five years ago, I continued with the maximum 401k contribution, but put 50% in a Roth and 50% in traditional. I did that because I simply did not know what would be best.....
Trying to predict the incompetence of our leaders for the next 20 years is difficult, but I find it hard to believe my income could be anywhere near it is now, thus i should be in a lower tax bracket?
I do not know if the answer is straight forward to me, but the OP has given me something to consider.
PS. I always enjoy reading opinions from others with more experience than I in these subjects. If nothing else it gets me thinking about something I was otherwise ignoring....
