Standard advice around here is usually to fund the 401k up to the company
match, then fully fund a Roth IRA, and then go back and put in non-matched
funds in your 401k with any leftover money. But, do you have any
non-mortgage, non-student-loan debt (credit cards, car loan, etc)? What
about an emergency fund? If you're in the hole I'd suggest that getting
out of it has equal priority to funding the Roth.
