Investing Advice You Should Ignore

Why you should invest in a 401(k) despite what James Altucher Says

James Altucher is a sharp guy, there is no doubt about that, but even? though he says not to invest in a 401 (k) there are compelling reasons why? you still should. ?The two biggest reasons are your company will usually match some amount of money you put in.? What does that mean?? It means you are getting free money!? If you make $50K a year and contribute 5% to your 401(k) you contribute $2,500 but your employer usually matches up to this amount so you really contributed $5,000.? Of course you have to stay at employer for a certain amount of time to qualify for the match, usually.
