@MFT_Get_Funded Depends on their goals. Is hosting their family and extended family for Christmas, Thanksgiving, other major holidays important? This is the same exact debate my in-laws are going through right now.
@TheBrilliantBu1 Tell me about it. I couldnโt even fathom. But Iโm so glad thereโs hundreds of people willing to do it. Such an amazing place to work.
Imagine saying NO to FREE MONEY! ๐ฐ
Thatโs exactly what youโre doing when you pass up your employerโs 401(k) match!
Imagine your parents saying, โFor every $1 you put in your piggy bank, weโll add another $1.โ
Thatโs an instant 100% return on your money!
Donโt leave FREE MONEY on the table! ๐
IF YOUR EMPLOYER MATCHES YOUR 401(K) AND YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT, YOU'RE TURNING DOWN FREE MONEY
A common plan matches 50% of what you put in, up to 6% of your salary.
If you earn $60,000 and contribute 6%, that's $3,600 a year from you and $1,800 a year from your employer.
That $1,800 is an instant +50% return on your money, once it's vested, before the market does anything.
Over 30 years at 7% a year, just the employer match grows to about $170,000.
Your employer would have put in $54,000 of it. The rest is compounding.
Every plan is different, so check your company's match and vesting rules. Not financial advice.
@themoviedadsc Employer match is the best investment anyone can make. A guaranteed 100% ROI every single payday is absolutely unmatched. Even if your investment options suck. You have to get the match.
