What several of us have tried to stress is that savings is small enough that it is not remotely worth the 5% target return that is outside of your control. The only real savings is if your withdrawals are taxed in a lower income bracket.

It is tax deferral not tax avoidance. An investor's focus should always be on total return. A lot of investors have lost significant wealth focusing on tax deferral vs capital appreciation/total return. IMO the MBCBP is an inefficient use of Capital.
