I agree, I sent a note to this firm about this article and they didn’t answer my questions. They just wanted me to fill out a form disclosing my net worth complete with my Social Security number. This is just a ploy to get customers. Steer clear of these idiots. Regarding this statement:

I cannot imagine that many single people make over $160,850 a year. The marriage penalized $195,850 for a couple is somewhat more reasonable, but that is still higher than the vast majority of earners. One other aside:

I think this advice only applies if you are not able to be an active participant. Of course, in that case, you probably should be maxing out both your Roth and your Traditional to think about having enough for retirement :-/ My first thought was the deductibility limits.
