We have a great 401k here at the casino. They match up 7% of whatever you put in. So when I started I put in 7%. Most people I know up here deduct nothing from there checks and upon Tax returns blow it on stupid shit. I now deduct 11% from my check to my 401k. I make the same because every year we get a raise based on our performance. Doesnt bother me one bit because in the long run, I should be alright. These people are the same that say minimum wage should be raised and its the companies fault for not paying them enough to keep the 150k home they obviously cant afford even with double the pay.
