I do think dropping a tax bracket currently helps us quite a bit, but with the standard deduction being so much I might be able to split my 12% contribution to 6% 401k and 6% ROTH 401k instead of all to the 401k.
Thanks for a great post.

If your situation would cause you switch tax brackets then yeah, I would run the numbers but I myself am starting to put everything into all of my ROTH accounts. I contribute the minimum I have too to get the employer match to my pre-tax and the rest is ROTH, baby! I don't want to **** with taxes when I am old. If I need a few G's I want to put out what I need. Not what I need and Uncle Sam wants.
