Should I Contribute to My Company Retirement Plan Even Without an Employer Match? - YMYW podcast

On the Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast episode #215, Joe Anderson, CFP® and "Big Al" Clopine, CPA answer this question from Scott in New York: "Good day and thanks for the podcast. My question is, do you still advise contributing to a company 401(k) or 457 even if the company DOES NOT provide any matching funds?

Would you suggest contributing some funds to the 401(k)/457 and some funds to an IRA, or some combination? The tax deductibility is good, but I would also like the “free money”.
