<prompt> Human: My husband will be able to start contributing to his 401K in January. His company matches 25 of his contribution up to 6. Im assuming that it means that he can contribute up to 6, and they would be matching it at 1.5 at the max. This doesnt seem like it would be worth it considering how much has to be tied up to get such a small amount even if it is free money. For him 1.5 of his salary would amount to about 600. I have been working with a financial planner and am thinking that our money might be better invested elsewhere.What do you guys think?  <response>: he can contribute up to 6, and they would be matching it at 1.5 at the maxI believe this is correct.He should still contribute to get the match. Its 25 more money for free. You cant beat that return.
