Employers may limit or stop matching contributions during hard times. The cut is usually only temporary.

It’s also generally a bad idea to tap 401(k) funds before retirement.

age 59½ or older

How do I know if my employer is matching my 401k?

How long does an employer have to match 401k contributions?

What happens if my employer doesn’t match my 401k?

You’ll earned the full 10% on your investment each year.

Can I cancel my 401k and cash out?
