Sweeps, jimOhio...yes I will make changes to max out 401k contributions (change from 3 to 8%.) I have to wait a few months before I am permitted to make the change but it takes first priority on my list of changes to make.

After I make that change should I at some point look into an IRA to contribute an additional 2% of salary? That would total up to 10% salary going towards retirement...I thought I read that this is the recommended percent that one should contribute. I am in my mid-30's and I had a late start to retirement contributions. Current total in 401k is only ~6k.
