Very wealthy, no, not by a long shot.

Relatives. No, they will inherit. I did what i wanted when i was younger and continue to do so now. Doesnt cost a fortune.

I think it is a good idea to reduce the number of options for IRA. This should simplify retirement savings, making it easier for people to save. And in addition, contributing after tax is an easier and more accurate way to plan for retirement. This way 1 million saved is 1 million available to spend.

Contributions should be mandatory (payroll deduction) just like taxes.

Well one comment: I wouldn't mind seeing the income contribution limits for Roth's go away. Or at least make the married amount double the single amount.
Well, it is double. Both people can contribute to their own.

On what planet does "well over" $12K a month make you "very wealthy" unless it is a large multiple of $12K. Granted, blktop is doing fine because of his low COL, but GDP per household in the United States is $132K or $11K/month...

location means everything.

not really . once you have traditional deductable ira's you have to convert to roths and that alone can be a killer tax wise.

the back door roths only work if you have no existing deductible ira's.
