<prompt> Human: Hi PF gurus, my wife and I are behind on retirement savings and are looking to maximize our retirement investment potential now that our debts are largely paid off. I have a SIMPLE IRA, contributing 1000mo which equals the annual max of 12000. My wife has a 403b with 17,500 annual cap that she is close to hitting her income is variable, so its hard to target the exact cap. I understand that I can make Roth IRA contributions, but since we are in a high tax bracket earning a lot right now, I read here on PF a couple weeks ago that it does not make tax sense to contribute to a Roth IRA since we are likely taxed at a higher marginal rate now than we will during retirement. We are not currently contributing to any Roth IRA programs.Are their any other tax advantaged retirement account options for us to use to play catch up, or at this point would we have to start diverting money into taxable investment accounts? Currently we do not have any. Thanks in advance, PF!  <response>: By the way, if the only options would be Roth IRA or taxable accounts, the Roth IRA still wins. Your amount of taces on your income are the same in both situations, but you pay capital gains tax on the taxable account and wont on the Roth IRA.
