My wife’s (architect) employer stopped 401K contributions in late 2008 and haven’t started back...despite raking in cash the last 3 years.

My company matches 75% up to 8% of salary.
They gave us an extra pct after Trump’s tax cuts.
Relative to my friends’ employers, this seems like a real solid 401K.

Don’t get too hung up on this benefit.

It’s good to have (obviously) but you can easily make up for a lower level match in additional salary or other benefits.

DO NOT only invest in your 401(k) for retirement.

From my experience, this is yet another benefit that employers have been whittling down over the years.
Got rid of pensions, now trim that 401k matching to the minimum.

It's going to be for this very reason millennials and younger will have a hard time in the job market, for the older employees aren't retiring, because they haven't really saved enough,nor will be provided anything.(unless it's a government employee)
