<prompt> Human: Hey guys, started a new job almost a year ago and am eligible for the 401k after a year of service. I know the advice is always to contribute as much as the employer will match. However I learned that my employer matches 3 at 100 and then the next 2 at 50. Do you guys advise contributing 3 or 5 and why?Thanks so much for your input! This sub has already helped me to manage my expenses more so than ever before.  <response>: Dude think about it, after the 3 they are still paying you 50 for every 100 you put in. Its a no brainer.
