Reddit PF will tell you:
00)Pay off any debt with an interest rate higher than 6% (YMMV)
0) Build emergency fund
1) Get employer 401k match
2) Max out your IRA
3) Go back and up your 401k until you max it
4) Then consider taxable investments once you have maxed all of your retirement options (including an HSA if you have one)
It would be wise to maximize your tax sheltered accounts while you are young and your salary is "lower".
