Depending on how much your bonuses are,
you might not qualify for a full (or maybe even partial) deduction for tIRA contributions. For MFJ people who have 401k's at work, your combined MAGI (gross income less 401k, HSA, and some above the line deductions) must be less than $98k for a full deduction of your tIRA contribution, and must be less than $118k for a partial tIRA deduction.
Based on the information you provided, your MAGI before bonuses is $130k - $6350 - $36k = $87.65k.
If you're unsure about whether you'll qualify or not, that's okay. You can always contribute to a tIRA and then
recharacterize your tIRA contribution as a Roth IRA contribution through 4/15 of the following year (tax deadline)*. And you can recharacterize it the other way too.
But yes you should prioritize the traditional IRA over the Roth, because you're in the 25% tax bracket now, and with expenses of 37k/yr, in retirement you'd be in the 15% bracket.**
You should definitely max your 401k's, HSA, and IRAs (whether the IRA is traditional or Roth) before contributing to a brokerage account.
The HSA is the
ultimate retirement account because so long as you save your receipts, you can defer your withdrawal for medical expenses indefinitely. Furthermore, when you reach 65, you can make withdrawals for non medical expenses penalty (but not tax) free.
And while HSAs typically have high expense ratios, you also get a 7.65% reduction in tax so long as you make contributions through payroll deductions (because HSA contributions avoid FICA tax).
*Okay technically you have until 10/15 but that requires you to either file for an extension or file an amended return.
**Unless you think that there will be a large increases in taxes by the time you retire. Which I don't think is that likely, but nobody knows what the political landscape will look like a decade from now. Making Roth IRA contributions and traditional 401k contributions would be a good hedge against this possibility should you think it likely enough to warrant it.
