My company just announced that they will stop matching for the 401K until 2021 (sigh). Do you think I should lower my investment percentage to get more liquid assets that I can use for buying an investment property at the end of the year and extra funds available for school as I return for masters? Or is there a better way to get returns?

My company did the same. I'm keeping my 401k contribution level the same since it's pretax, and trying to step up my other investments since I'm spending less in other areas right now.

Make sure you personally have a strong safety net. Your firm is bracing for economic hardship and conserving cash as much as possible.

You should likely do the same if you’re not in a solid position for your own personal finances. If you’re in a comfortable position, stay the course. “the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."
