Why PwC and Deloitte’s 401K match is so low?

KPMG has entered the party!

PwC’s is low because they put an additional 3-7% on top of it that requires no contribution on our part.

Overall, it’s not bad. Looking at just the match, it’s terrible.

No, it vests in annual percentages alongside your 401k. And it has the same investment options as your 401k.

It’s structured virtually the same as the 401k, with the caveat that you can’t do things like take loans against it (I believe) like you could with a 401k.

For D, likely because they offer the pension plan too. So the average employer contribution of the two combined probably lines up close to average when you compare other organizations who just have a 401k

Ya, i agree. I didn't know abt pension until i onboarded. And, i think that covers up low 401k match

We have 1.25% + no pension. TOP THAT BIG4!!

funny

Thought we canceled pension… no?

PwC has another retirement savings program called Wealth Builder which compensates for 401K shortcomings

I think the nominal match exists to just encourage 401k contributions and the cash balance plan is the real excitement. And it does motivate me to contribute at least 6% so can’t say it’s not without merit.

Because they're cheap.

For crying out loud, the feds offer a 5% match (or even a 10% match at the financial regulatory agencies) + a high-3 pension, all while offering other benefits that are in the same ballpark as what B4 offers.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos.

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
