reducing /eliminating 401k matches

Here's a perfect example of how corporations are getting out of the business of retirement. They discarded defined benefit plans, for the most part, years ago thereby transferring the market risks to individuals in 401(k) plans. Next, they dumped retiree health care. Now they want to reduce, or eliminate altogether, their present meager contributions? All they while, they pull in their multi-million dollar annual bonuses? What a bunch of crooks!

Employees - Don’t turn down free money!

One key to building wealth is “Don’t turn down free money!” When you maximize contributions to your qualified retirement plan you accept free money from three sources:

1)The taxes you normally owe the government,

2)The interest earned on the government’s tax dollars which are now inside your retirement plan and

3)The interest earned on the interest.

Employer matching is a 4th source for free money.

Saving for your retirement is the BEST thing you can do, even if it’s only a little at a time. An example of the impact of on-going savings can be found in my blog - http://www.peoplesfinancialadvisor.com/personalfinance/?p=20
