ST fund advisers. if my company decides they are not matching 401k, should I stop making my contribution until they start matching again? and use - Epiphany the Scamp Apr 21, 14:03 18
- A lot of factors come into play and it depends on where your focus is - decline Apr 21, 14:50
- IMO, it's always better to make 401(k) investment if you can afford it. It's pre-tax so it's like getting a bonus even if you don't get matching. - pmb Apr 21, 14:30
- don't contribute unless they're matching. reasons inside... - colin Apr 21, 14:29 5
  - Your im is not really true. A majority of retirement plans offer index funds and many offer institutional shares that have better expense ratios than - decline Apr 21, 14:45 1

- Your 401k is in some type of funds, correct? So though they're not matching, they'd still be pre-tax contribution and (assumingly) making money? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 14:06 1
