One of the most important retirement decisions doesn’t show up on your paycheck; it shows up in how your contributions are taxed. That’s what prompted a recent listener question about whether 401(k) contributions should be Roth or traditional, and whether age changes the answer. The truth is, the right choice isn’t simply tax now versus tax later, but how each option fits into the bigger picture of your retirement plan. Today, Steve brings clarity to a decision many people second-guess.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
