The Wall Street Journal quotes Natalie Choate in “Is a Roth Account Right for You?”

Savers using Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k) plans put after-tax dollars instead of pretax ones into their accounts and thus forgo a valuable upfront tax break, although they get tax-free withdrawals of assets after age 59 ½.
“Roth accounts are wonderful to have, but not if the price of admission – taxes – is too high,” said Natalie.
