Once you are invested in a 401k for a long period of time, and your own contributions get to a high enough amount, as does the total value of your 401k, the returns from that employer match become less and less, and regress towards zero if you do the math.If you plan to have the 'average' amount in your 401k when you can start withdrawing (assuming you will be active, healthy, or alive at this time) {this average number is a laughable ~$150k or less in the US}, then the employer match may make financial sense.Edit: I lied.

This kind of thing is always fun - well sort of until my analysis makes me feel inadequate or gives me the "big head". 

Half or all?

There is no reason they couldn't pay part or all of the $1250 from their commissions.

Seattle is one of the 21 cities where renters represents at least half the total population living in households.They could vote to live for free for the rest of their lives if they wanted to.Seattle landlords--your customers are exercising their political power (or it's being exercised for them by those in power for their own purposes).The people in Seattle's government have made it into an "Illegal" sanctuary city set on harboring have-nots from other countries.When the Have-nots outnumber the Haves things like this happen.Then when things like this happen and the area's turn into slums due to inadequate cash flow, they will further plague landlords calling them slumlords and cracking down on them.This just seems like part of a much bigger political issue (and possibly a way to make their sanctuary city more attractive to who they want to draw there to live).

Hey Nicole you have a tough commute in the winter I would advise you to sell your current vehicle privately then go lease a Subaru Forrester and make sure it’s four wheel or all wheel.

Eviction legal process is extended, requiring longer notice times before a petition can even be filed at the court (at least 2 months to get a warrant)   Judge can issue a stay of said warrant for UP TO ONE YEAR for "financial hardship", which includes inadequate child care.It's just really frustrating. 

Or all these business are just going to close?

Everything costs like double, and then you have other problems like expensive accessories, kids can't use it for gaming, drivers for some devices are inadequate, etc.The comments here make me think people are buying a $300 Best Buy Windows laptop that runs like crap, and then buy a $1800 Macbook pro that's amazing in comparison...of course the Mac is going to destroy the Windows laptop in that scenario, it has an SSD drive, faster processor, etc.
