The employer match is essentially a 100% (or 50%) instant return on your investment.
Common Scenario: "50% match up to 6%"
This means if you contribute 6% of your salary, your company adds another 3% (half of 6). If you only contribute 4%, they add 2%.
Always contribute at least enough to get the full employer match. It's safe, guaranteed return.
Set your contribution to auto-increase by 1% each year. You won't miss it from your paycheck, but your future self will thank you.
Ensure your 401k funds have low expense ratios. High fees can eat up huge portions of your growth over 30 years.
