Today I'm thankful for...
Employer matched retirement funds!
Boy, financial planning week sure does make for a lot of excitement, doesn't it? Regardless of how fun these topics sound, they are important and will be helpful for people in the long run. Take employer matched retirement funds. I work at a place that matches my retirement contributions up to a certain amount. It may not be a large amount, but it's basically free money towards my retirement. Let me repeat that again: free money towards my retirement. So, it could make the difference between me getting to eat cat food when I retire or premium cat food. Kidding, kidding, but it does make a difference. If your employer offers any type of matching, run to the human resources department (um, maybe wait until tomorrow when they're open though) and sign up for it!
