      By Roth I assume you mean Roth IRA and not Roth 401k? If you can’t contribute to a Roth IRA (assuming due to income limitations), how will you be able to contribute to a traditional IRA?

      If you’re talking about making non-deductible IRA contributions, those are definitely inferior to backdoor Roth IRA contributions.

        If you’re going to make higher income in retirement, Roth would be best option now.

          Without knowing more details, sounds like a backdoor Roth IRA is what you’ll want to do for your IRA.

          You won’t qualify to do a deductible traditional IRA.

            If you have a 401k available at work, and your income is that high, you may be phased out of traditional IRA deductibility too.

            Traditional IRA isn’t a great fit for higher income retirement situations, since it’s taxed at withdrawal – high income retirement is where Roth shines.

              If income is higher in retirement, just retire now. You will have more money…

                Are you or your spouse covered by a retirement plan at work? This would be a factor in whether you are able to make deductible contributions to a Traditional IRA.

                  Just do a back door Roth IRA. That’s what me and my spouse do now that we’re married.
