50 yrs old; saving 50% of my salary and I’m 48. No more nonsense for me

I also am saving 50% of my income at 39. I plan to buy property until my passive income is sufficient. And then I can consult on projects once in a while. I also want to start a lingerie line. So I don’t think I would ever stop working, I just would like to work for myself making passive income and being artsy.

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
