401k matching is an investing option that is often overlooked, but it can be a powerful tool in building long-term wealth. In today’s episode, I chat with you about how maxing out my 401k over six years propelled me to more financial success and security. 
While maxing out my 401k wasn't absolutely necessary to meet our family financial goals, it has allowed me to relax more, work less and rest easy knowing that one important box has been checked.
