Ditch traditional 401k for Roth or taxable

Maxing traditional 401k and HSA isn't necessarily the best strategy for early access and tax efficiency

What I wish I knew
"Consider alternative strategies like Roth 401k or taxable investments"
If I could tell you one thing
"Reevaluate traditional 401k contributions and consider diversifying into Roth 401k or taxable accounts"
