 TITLE: How Much Should I Contribute to 401(k)? CONTENT: Sacrifice Now for Less Stress Later\n-----------------------------------\nIt can feel like a drag to set aside a chunk of every paycheck for retirement, especially if it's a long way away and you have other financial goals, such as buying a house. But starting a 401(k) as soon as possible, and maximizing it with employer matches and other strategies, helps make retirement more feasible and will make your lifestyle more comfortable when the time comes. Plus, it will help reduce financial stress and anxiety when you no longer have income from a job, allowing you to more easily enjoy your retirement. END
