> I do 10% and get a company match of 5%… Done it for the past 5 yrs and sure has not amounted to anything crazy. Makes me think a 401K alone aint gonna be enough to retire on since SS will probably be used up by then.

Do not count on SSI. Not to mention that the age will steadily go up over the next 40 years, if it even continues through then.

Yarr, my co. just changed the pension program (not that I’ll retire _from_ here) & co. match rates… now 100% of first 3% & 50% of next 3%. Used to be 100% upto 8%… but we’ve grown and alot of other bigguns are having pension problems (GM et al)…
