    Put as much as you possibly can afford to into your 401K!
    Make sure you diversify out of the Company Stock as you can with the "matched portion."

    Don't be so worried about the IRA if you have a company 401K, until you start making real wood.
     
  8. Absolutely max out your 401k every year, THEN think about putting money in an IRA. That's just like being given free money, don't pass it up.

    Don-
     
  9. It's a little scary that you're asking a bunch of day-traders about IRA's and 401-K's :eek:
