Your 401k contributions are made before taxes witch will lower your taxable income and if a company matches you.
That my friend is free money
My 401k matches up to 6% of what I put in over a number of yrs that can add up to be a nice sum of free money.When a company tells you they will match some of what you are saving it can be a win win
I worked for the Co. for 23 yr there 6% added up
Good luck

I had one at my last job (unemployed now). I figure of your employer is willing to match money you pay TO YOURSELF, you are simply throwing away money if you do not participate, at least up to the limit of the matching.

I do i cant pass the free money up
Arbitrage
The only reason I could think of for not participating in a matching program is if you *really* need the paycheck week to week and it's used for survival.
It's almost a no-brainer to contribute up the matching limit because it's free money, even if you have withdrawal penalties.

used to.. then i changed employers.

I do-- for every $1 I put in, the company pays .50 ( yes fifty cents) up to 3.5% of my pre-taxed pay. Since I'm single and want to lower my taxes, choose to have 10% taken out because of that the company when they were sold got rid of the 100% insurance ( which is not taxed on anyways) and to make up the difference between what insurance is offered now, can afford to do that because its within $20 of how much my check was before my work was sold.

I contribute. Unless you are so strapped that you are living by every penny in your paycheck, contribute all you can....

I do- the employer match gives you a better return that nearly any investment, and that income is not taxed
