I'm continually amazed at how many people where I work don't take advantage of the $ for $ 9% match my company gives.

Same here. My company matches up to 8%. I'm always shocked at how many folks say that they don't contribute the full 8%. I put in the full 8%, then max out my Roth with a low cost Vanguard S&P indexed fund, and two balanced fund (one of them being VWINX).

People who don't contribute to matching 401Ks are leaving money on the table. No fund will have that kind of return. As tight as money can be some times, I always try to make sure I at least get all of my match. It's imperative for people my age.
