The often overlooked aspect of a Roth is that one pays taxes at their top tax bracket. With a traditional IRA/401k one would pay taxes at their effective tax bracket, which can be much lower.

The Roth benefit you mention is really a function of using a low fee personal account instead of a higher fee employer account. It would be prudent to point out that fee saving benefit disappears when comparing a Roth IRA to a Roth 401k.

Employer retirement account fees are ridiculous and can easily chew up any tax savings one may receive. This is why moving a 401k to a low fee personal Rollover IRA is a popular strategy when switching employers.

Wish I learned more about investing in high school. When will they add it to the schools curriculum?

If your employer offers a Roth403b, you would garner the employer match there first, then maximize the HSA and then contribute up to the maximum for the 403b account correct?

what if you don't have an employer which allows for your to put money into a 401(k)/403(b), and do contribute to an HSA (but don't max out contributions) but still contribute something, can we still open a Roth IRA and contribute the max to it?
