If I’m going to be in a lower tax bracket when i retire, why not keep putting the 12% in?


the ONLY reason I can think of is that your 401k investment options are just that crappy. Otherwise, I agree with you.

I am doing that same thing. I am maxing my 401k so I have something accessible at 55, will have lower income in retirement, AND my 401k is essentially a full brokerage account with no limits on what stocks, funds or commodities I can purchase.

Thanks everyone. Makes a lot of sense to keep putting it into 401k due to the accessibility. I don’t plan on retiring early, but shite (health) happens and having access to it early makes a difference

I’m very familiar with real estate, but just don’t have the 20% down on a lot of these properties I would actually be interested in buying.
