401k Employer Matching

So here is a great way to give yourself a 6% raise in most cases, however in some cases the percentage of match could be lower. If you are not contributing to your 401k that your employer is offering you, your basically throwing that money away.
If your employer is going to contribute a 100% match up to the 6% that you are already putting in, this means you have just doubled your money. Plus the money comes out before taxes are applied, thus lowering your earned income at the end of the year.
