<p>I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but if you make <strong>$75,000 a year</strong> and for some reason have decided not to contribute to your 401k, even though you've got a <strong>4% company match</strong>, here's what you're missing out on.

<p>None of that's including your own contributions. Add that in, and you would have had around <strong>$1.2 million</strong> in 40 years of investing. I get it—some people don't like free money. Well, maybe I don't get it. Let me know in the comments if you don't contribute to a 401k and why.</p>
