So here is a question..granted it would be totally dependent on ones personal situation.
If one is in a tax bracket where they are paying no cap gains tax on longterm gains and no tax on qualified dividends, is there a point where it doesn't make sense to fund an IRA (as opposed to putting money in a taxable acc)? Especially as one gets nearer to retirement? Been googling for opinion articles and there ain't much out there on the subject. Of course tax laws could and will change over the years.

Happy New year all,
ditch
(also stumbled on to an article about using benchmarks to gauge ones performance, I thought it was interesting, the fella was using a Vanguard target dated fund as his benchmark..kinda made sense to me. I know some here don't benchmark, but I do use the S&P ^gspc (yahoo) +9.54% in '16 as mine)
...and I wouldn't know a bond from a bong (60/40 etc)
