Thank you
« on: February 28, 2014, 06:03:15 AM »
For helping my understand the Value of Tax deferred accounts when you're above the 15% tax bracket.  my old tax bill was 559.65 a month and has dropped to 354.77 since i switched from roth 401k to trad. 401k.  this is a savings of over 400 dollars a month. 

and since i havent been able to convince my wife to come around to mustachian ways yet.  This has allowed me to help her max out her 401k at work as well.  this should represent large tax savings for us over the next few years. 

Thanks again...
