<prompt> Human: Sorry for the confusion, they are contributing 5 of whatever I put in, they arent actually matching.I have 6,000 in interest-bearing credit card debt and a further 8,000 sitting on a card interest-free until January 2019. I also owe someone 3,000.My 401k contributes 5 of whatever I put in. Which means a guaranteed 5 return on my money there, pre-tax.I have an exorbitant amount of student loans at 6.8.After Im done paying the credit card debt and personal loan and finishing saving up my e-fund, Im not sure what to do. Paying all into the loans would guarantee me a 6.8 return. But paying into the 401k would likely yield a higher return given that Id just have to hit 1.8 return in the market on top of the match.Which would you think would be better?Assistant: You should always contribute enough to get the match. Thats a 100 return right off the bat, free money. After that start paying off debt, highest interest first.Human: No, its not 100 up to 5, its literally they match 5 of anything I put in. So if I put in 100, theyll put in 5. If I put in 10,000, theyll put in 500.I edited the description but unfortunately cant edit the title!  <response>: I would double check that matching thing. Hopefully you misread it. Ive never heard of matching like your seeing.
