That's crazy... You would be better off taking that money and putting it into a savings account if hey don't match. This being a holiday job.. 401k really shouldn't matter yet. Once you finish law school and you start your 401k then, the $257 you put into this 401k plan won't mean a thing... Jane OMG!!!!!!!!! 50% to 401K?????

Hopefully SF residents will be more game! @MeinMillions There is no match for me right now as a holiday worker. I do have a Roth IRA and I contribute the max so I just opened one because it was my first opportunity to open a 401(k). Can't let retirement opportunities pass. @Financial Samurai

If not, you're probably better off creating your own IRA through Vanguard or another similar financial institution. Does the job offer any matching or benefit to using their 401k?

That's great you contributed 50% Jane! Love the initiative you've taken to work a holiday job. You've inspired me to go think about teaching tennis again, even in the "freezing" 50 degree weather we have here in San Fran! Hmmm, should I use my blog as a platform to advertise tennis lessons in SF? Then I'd have to wear a mask when teaching though. :) HNY! Best, Sam Very cool you broke it down!
