I have found that a well diversified portfolio using index funds suits my speed more. No worrying about it, automated investing. I do the 401(k) to the match and then fully fund my Roth IRA and my wife's Roth IRA. She also puts 10% into her 403(b) and has a pension. By <i>the full 15%</i> do you mean that you think 15% is optimal or does your plan limit you to 15%? Mine uses the federal limit of $15.5K. I think that if I hit the max on mine and my wife's plan, as well as our Roth, we'd have way too little money to live on. That is 49K this year, after all.

If you don't have a 401k option, take a serious look at IRA options from your banks. Mrs. Micah – Good point, I met to include information about an IRA as an alternative, so thanks for reminding me.
