Hello all,

I'm thinking about contributing after tax proceeds to my 401k.
I've thought about the dis-advantages about it, meaning that my contributions have been taxed and future gains will be taxed.
Could anyone perhaps shed some light whether this is a good idea or should I look into other ways to invest this money (I've already contributed the max amount to my IRA).
Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your help and advice.
Enjoy the day.
Regards
Erik
