<prompt> Human: Hello guys,So Im currently 24 years old and after working for my company that I am at now for a year, Im now eligible to contribute to a 401k. The firm I work for contributes 3 of my salary my salary is 58k so 3 of that would be 1,740, every January.In addition, I also have a Roth IRA that I opened and have not funded yet. I just am not sure which I should contribute to first and how much. A co-worker told me she contributes 15 towards her 401k so I was thinking about that.If it helps, with my salary being 58k, and working in NYC, my bi-weekly paycheck ends up being just about 1,700, and my monthly expenses tend to be about 1,200. I currently only have about 16,000 in my bank account.Do you guys have any recommendations as to how much I should contribute into my 401k and Roth?I apologize in advance for just blindly asking on Reddit, but I figured I would give it a shot.Thank you guys for your help.  <response>: This info is in the PRIME DIRECTIVE: How to handle link in the sidebar. Generally you want to contribute enough to get any match in your 401k, then max out your Roth IRA, then increase your 401k as much as you can reasonably afford.
