This is really only a good idea if you’re very concerned about high taxes in retirement or if you’re extremely young and can bank on your investments in your Roth IRA quadrupling (or more) in value by the time you reach the age where you can take money out of your Roth IRA. If you’re young and single and want to really hammer your retirement savings early in your career, this is a thing well worth considering. If you’re considering it, talk to the administrator of your 401(k) plan at work and ensure that you’re allowed to to make non-Roth after-tax contributions. You’ll also want to find out if you can make in-service withdrawals, which means that you can immediately do the “mega backdoor” Roth IRA conversions; if not, you have to wait until you leave your job and then do the conversion all at once.Big Boss vote
