@studentwealtharch: Nia’s job offered a “100% match up to 5%” and she ignored it retirement felt forever away. Here’s what that actually meant: for every $1 she put in, her employer added $1, instantly. That’s a guaranteed 100% return, free money, on day one. On a $40k salary that match was worth about $2,000 a year, so by skipping it she was quietly turning down a $2,000 raise every single year. No real investment reliably doubles your money the moment you make it an employer match does. At minimum, contribute enough to grab the full match. Does your job offer one?
