This is very true. I think it's very important to have diversification amongst your pre-tax and post-tax retirement savings. 401k's are great because you can get yourself a raise by maximizing the employer match, but we need to have savings where the taxes have already been paid at (hopefully) a lower rate! This is something I've been working towards myself during the past year.
