Nov 17, 2005 -- Enroll in your 401k plan NOW!
One in four people who participate in their 401k plans dont put enough to get the company match. Usually you have to put in 6 percent to get a company match, but its free money! If you do nothing else, you should enroll in your 2006 plan. Most employers dont offer pensions anymore, so the responsibility is on us to save money for retirement. And, if you can, increase the amount youre putting away by 1 percent every time you get a raise. And make sure youre not putting any of the money into company stock.
