130 - Should I Do Roth Conversions in Low Income Years?

Scott and James discuss if you should do Roth Conversions in years where income is relatively low. Listener Question I am currently single and maxing out my 401k. In two more years I'll have been doing this and my Roth IRA for four years total. I plan on going back to training for one year and at that point it will drop me from the 37% tax bracket to 22%. My question is I currently contribute to a Roth 401(k) and I plan to stop doing that and just contribute fully to my 401(k), but in the year I earn less move everything to my Roth IRA, is this the right decision or should I keep contributing part of the Roth 401(k) and regular combined?
