If you plan on being alive at 65, then yes you should. Both are fantastic investments because of the tax free growth. Basically everyone should follow this pattern with extra money they have:

1.) Max out employer matching in 401k

2.) Max out roth IRA contribution (in most cases, sometimes you might want a normal IRA)

3.) Max out individual 401k contribution limit

4.) Invest in other things.
