That makes sense as the growth will be far greater than any taxes you pay if you're more aggressive . But if you're starting out it's better to just go Roth all the way. I only contribute to Roth 401k at work but my company gives a certain percent of my salary for free and it can only go into traditional 401k but it's free money so whatever. Outside of work I'm just contributing to a non retirement account if I do contribute which I haven't for some time as the portfolio is growing quite a bit just on it's own. I can set up auto transfers from my checking so I may start doing that to contribute consistently and also have any dividends automatically reinvest.
