1. Put money in 401k to maximize company match
2. Put annual max in ROTH...if you can afford it
3. After ROTH is maxed out put more in 401k if you can


that wasn't the question

Should I split it between the two? Any advice would be appreciated.


Doesn't sound like an either or question to me. Sounds like he can contribute to both and he's asking if he should split his contributions.

401k gives you pre-tax benefits. Lowers your taxable income and you probably get an employer match (free money)

ROTH - If the current laws remained unchanged your withdrawls won't be taxed

He should contribute to both to maximize benefits, not one or the other.
