Yeah, first make sure you have enough to survive. Then try and make it so after a full year of work a tiny bit more than $1000 is deposited into it (or as much as you can get by without starving yourself).
As far as the money that's in the 401K, do you want to be aggressive with it (at the sacrifice of it fluctuating a bit), or do you want to be conservative, or a mixture of both?
