Max it out. It really is shocking how much wealth you start to pile up when you contribute every other week for years. I started contibuting when I was 24 and started working at my current employer. That was 8 years ago. I wish I had been more active in watching my investment choices early on, I missed out on lots of growth. You need to treat it like any other investment and actively monitor and change your positions. I didn't start doing that until last year and man what a difference it has made. There are over 5 funds in my portfolio that are currently averaging over 30% growth for the last 5 years. That is amazing ROI.
