Maxing out my 401K

[Elaboration]

[ QUOTE ]
I think I'm going to ramp up my 401k percentage to around 9% for now, and anything extra will probably go to the Roth IRA.

Unless you are paying out additional $ to the taxman on April 15th, you should flip flop this.

In order:

1) Max out the matching funds from your employer
2) Max out your yearly Roth IRA contributions
3) Continue to invest in your 401(k) or find other opportunities to do so
