I wish I knew enough and could keep up to date on such information. I am not up to date 100% on why I went the way I went. My wife's father is my CPA and is in love with tax laws. He is the one who really helps me get the most bang for the buck tax wise for someone at my age group.
What I remember is that the contributions are from earned income that has already been taxed. Withdrawals of the contributions are tax free and usually the interest is also tax free. I also expect my tax bracket will be higher when I retire than I am in now. Then since I am on a salary I can stay well within the income eligibility limits to take full advantage which I think is 5k this year and I think it goes up to 6k next year.
Main key though is that I work for a corporation, I get a paycheck, and all that jazz like your every day employee. At my age I do not need a income that is more than 99k a year. House is paid off, only have basic bills and my medical bills. Then it does not include my wife's income and the like.
