Default Re: Help me with my 401K?

10% is indeed generous. My company only matches 50% up to 6%. That's a bit lousy, but I learned that it was still better than many other companies.

Have you asked if your company offers Roth 401k? If so, I think that is a better choice than 401k, if you are in no hurry to reduce your tax burden. Roth 401k works like a Roth IRA, it will allow your earnings to be withdrawn tax-free, but has a yearly limit equal that of the 401k.
