Reply to comment by alwayslookingout in Contribute raise amount to 403b or Roth 403b? by gadorg

When you say traditional 403b, is that my existing 403b through my employer? Or a completely separate one I would open through a provider (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc)?

Your employer’s. It’s the same thing as the 401K. You can’t just open a 403b/401K on your own unless you own a business.

Okay, that's what I thought you meant. Thanks, I'll go ahead and increase my existing contribution to my employer 403b. Is there a reason why that's a better way to go than increasing my contribution to my employer Roth 403b (after tax money)?
