re: Invest in Roth IRA or 401k - first job

Only going to reply because I was in your shoes at one point and it helped to hear many people reinforce what I later learned are the correct decision. Like the posters above said, employer 401k up to match then as much as you can to Roth IRA. Reasons: 401k more than likely has higher fees and less investment options. Roth IRA is also considered "more liquid" at the end of the day being able to withdraw principle at any point in time as long you meet a few criteria.
