If you are ok with waiting until you are 59 1/2 years or older to have full access to the 401k contributions and gains (penalty free) than your path might look different than someone who wants to have a monthly passive cashflow that meets or exceeds their monthly expenses by age 40.Trying to amass a large nest egg in financial products such as a 401k, IRA, etc will require you to save & invest 50% of your income to gain 1 year of paid expenses in retirement, which assumes similar health status and lifestyle choices once you get there.If you are interested in economic independence earlier rather than later, invest only the 5% to get the full employer 401k match and then focus on positive cashflow investments to start replacing your active income (your job).
