Question

Should I maximize my 403(b) match first or contribute to other accounts?

Answer

Always contribute at least 5% to your Basic Plan to capture the full 10% employer match — that’s an immediate 200% return. After securing the match, consider additional contributions to the SRA or 457(b) based on your tax situation and retirement goals.
