Changing gears from quick money to sloooooow money, FMF writes about the value of an advanced degree. And from the department of terrible ideas, Dave Ramsey recommends skipping the 401k match and that you should pay off debt, something JLP doesn’t particularly agree with. As an aside, I was going to write a Devil’s Advocate post about how the match isn’t worth it… but I couldn’t come up with any reasons not to do it!

A few “devil’s advocate” thoughts on the match:

o It creates “golden handcuffs” which may prevent you from changing jobs when you should. This is particularly true if company matches vest over several years.

o It is sometimes done with company stock, over-exposing you financially to your employer.

But other than that, I can’t think of any either :)
