Sometimes an employer will match (pay a dollar for every dollar you put in) up to a certain amount. This is free money and a great benefit. Many believe maxing out your matching 401k should be one of your highest financial priorities. The funds in these accounts are invested in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
