Pay off the car early or fund more in 401k?
New job, no prior 401k balance but late career starter at 30 so anxious about retirement. If payoff car loan, I will only be able to contribute 5k to retirement this year (no match 1st year). Car loan is 5.99% and matures 2023. I would divert what would be retirement contributions to paying off the car by Dec this year. This would free up a $540 monthly bill starting Jan 2021. What’s better, higher retirement contributions now, or pay off car now?

Interviewed for a firm that seems great and pays better than my current job, but one issue... they don’t offer 401k matching (my current firm does). All other benefits are the same though.

I just qualified for my 401k at my current place but haven’t contributed yet and I need to get my savings in order. Advice?
