<prompt> Human: My company has a 50 match on 401k with no ceiling. I know the typical order that rpf recommends is emergency fund, 401k to companies match, max out Roth IRA, max out 401k, other investments. Is there any reason not to max out my 401k before I move on to a Roth IRA. Free money from the match is better than diversifying my retirement assets by adding a Roth IRA, right?I just paid off my student loans and have a little over 6 months emergency fund.  <response>: And listen to the people asking about vesting requirements. If you have to wait ten years until youre vested and youre going to leave your job before then, you will lose your companys contributions which would make that investment a poorer choice than investing in lets say a Roth IRA and reaping the sweet sweet tax benefits.
