Taking advantage of employer contributions

ember15 · **Taking advantage of employer contributions**

Cheers to the 52 cent gain on our 401K for the 4th quarter of 07

Its a positive number at least and that's something to be excited about event though the Fees were more then the investment gains.

Still with a market that has not been behaving the way we would all like it too it is nice to see a postive number as a possiblity. It seams to me that taking avantage of these type of long term retirement investments is a great deal.

My DH has employer contributions that added signifigantly with matching what we put in and a 401K profit share. We had a 10K increase to our portfolio in 2007 while only contributing $2700 of it. If you have the option to paticipate in a smilar program wow what an advantage. Getting the 4th quarter statement always puts me in a great mood to see how much you can save even if you can only afford a small amount to put toward paying yourself first. I only wish that we had started investing in DHs 401K earlier.
