is it ever a good idea to not contribute to your 401k, (but wait) even though my company automatically contributes 3% to my account without me having to contribute anything? I'm currently at an 8% contribution rate, thinking of putting that 8% elsewhere....like paying down mortgage, save for a new home, or where would you suggest putting that 8%?
sorry if this question has been posted before, I gave it a few searches before I posted but didn't find anything similar.
Thanks in advance!
