401k vs Roth IRA
my TC is 375k in seattle and i contribute 18k to 401k. Does it make sense to contribute to Roth IRA ?
I don't think you will be eligible. 203k AGI is the limit for being eligible to contribute in Roth IRA. I'm in same boat, looking for other options.
203k if you are married and 124k if single https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/ira-rules-faq

You can't withdraw your earnings before 60, so what's the point of Roth IRA? 1) You can always withdraw contributions from a Roth IRA with no penalty, at any age. 2) At age 59½, you can withdraw both contributions and earnings with no penalty, provided your Roth IRA has been open for at least five tax years.
