You should always hit your 401k match, but I don't think maxing your retirement accounts is the smartest play in the world when you're younger and still getting your life together. What good is a pile of cash at the end of your road if you did nothing but save money and live in crappy apartments and eat ramen noodles? Saving for a down payment is a fine option.
