oh i agree, i am over 40 and make sure i max out my roth every year....... but some things are done differently by others. I for instance DO NOT max my 401k for many reasons i have stated before(not crazy about fund options,more money for my other investments that i prefer right now, etc). I only put up to what they match, I mean who would not at least do that?

With the caveat that they've contributed up to the match in their 401k first.

I believe 5,000 is the most you can put in a Roth per year.


And that's per person, so if you are married, you should be contributing $10k as a couple.
