<prompt> Human: UPDATE: Ok, I misunderstood the terms of the 401k program offered by my company. They do not offer to match up to 17 of my income, but rather they match 17 of whatever I contribute. So if I contribute 1,000, they will contribute 170. Its 100 invested at the end of each year. So my question now is, should I favor contributing to my 401k over my ROTH?Im 29, make mid-50k, and I started maxing out my Roth two years ago, so I have about 11k in my Roth, about 15k in my 401k, and Im debt free and save about 1000 a month toward a house down payment or my next car I have 35k in savings right now. Im single but will probably get married in the next couple years. I currently contribute just 3 into my 401k, but when I saw they would match up to 17, Im starting to wonder if Im a fool for not taking advantage of free money. What do you think I should do?  <response>: put the 17 in if you can. Free money.
