According to all the information sent to me, the only time a Roth IRA is
to your advantage is if you think your tax bracket will be the same or
higher when you retire.  Personally, I am planning for a lower tax
bracket.  At that time my house will be paid for, my children will no
longer be living with us, and I have built up most of my necessities
already.

I want to use the rest to LIVE along the way.  I want to enjoy nice
vacations with my children.

Do I think it would be advisable to change over a traditional to a Roth
IRA so you can pay taxes today instead of defer them which is what made
sense of an IRA to begin with?  No Way!
