[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3889392, member: 7248"] Contribute the matched amount. Is it 100% match up to 6%? If so, you are essentially getting 100% return. You can put the funds in a cash type fund if you don’t want to buy stocks. It should earn a minimal amount of interest. If a Roth is available, you are taxed when the contributions are made, but not on the growth. If you can handle some risk, invest in a S&P indexed fund. It will have a low expense ratio and an average market return. Once you start investing, don’t stop, especially in down market cycles. [/QUOTE]
