<prompt> Human: First off, is my companies 401k plan shitty? Instead of matching my contribution based on a percentage of my salary, they simply match 25 of my own contribution, with no limit based on salary percentage. So I contribute 100, theyll contribute 25, if I contribute 600, theyll contribute 150. For them to match 5 of my salary, I would have to contribute 25 of my salary. How much should I contribute?  <response>: For them to match 5 of your salary, you would have to contribute 20, not 25.The answer is the maximum amount tolerable to you. If thats 1kyear, thats fine. If thats 18kyear, awesome.
