Are all silks created equal? When I shop online and see two tops that are 100% silk but one is $60 vs one that is $125, is there a difference between the quality of the material for them?

Some can be quite thin. It’s not obvious to check if online though.

Thickness and length of the individual strands probably varies, as well as the construction

Very interesting. I didn't realize that. Thanks all! Thats great to know

Also....how healthy were the silk worms that the silk came from! I have never compared this but saw a difference in various wools produced from sheep - the sheep with the poor diet obviously produced the worst wool.

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
