I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE.

Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
