Maximize Your 401(k) Match
Question: Which employer benefit can turn an expected 10% annual return into 12% with without additional risk?
Answer: An employer's 50% matching contribution.
Here's how: Let's assume your employer matches 50% of your contribution. That is a 50% return on your contribution.
Even better, that 50% return is RISK-FREE. Unlike the stock market, where returns are volatile, the 50% match is ALWAYS a 50% return.
And best of all, the future returns of your 401k will grow from a larger base: instead of your contribution, investment returns accrue to your contribution PLUS the the employer's match.
