Default Re: 401k Advice.. Pre/Post tax contribution? Additional Saving/Investment Tips?

Rarely should you contribute to your 401k post-tax. Contribute the maximum pre-tax ($14,000) and contribute the maximum to your Roth ($4,000). If you still have some left over, buy into some mutual funds in a taxable account to take advantage of favorable capital gains treatment.
