I like Capital One Savor. It gives 4% cash back on restaurants. Amex Blue Preferred gives 6% on groceries and 4% on gas. To me both of those are worth the annual fee

Is this reasonable or am I missing something?

I started maxing my 401k from year 1 and I hope to have $5 million or more by the time I retire around 60. Wouldn’t it make sense to put all of my yearly $19,500 401k contribution to ROTH 401k instead of traditional 401k?

My reasoning is that I would pay 35% tax now and my remaining 65% would grow tax-free in ROTH 401k…. versus traditional 401k where I deposit 100% but every distribution will be taxed 35% assuming I make a lot in retirement.

Want to do a sanity check. I’m making $110K and single. Right now max 401K, 50/50 traditional/Roth split. If I know I’ll be in school next year and will only work 6 months next year, should I aim to maximize Roth *next year* ? And therefore, maximize traditional this year? Thoughts? Thansk!
