Re: 401K before credit card debt? or other way around?
Let's say your company matches 50%. That's a 50% return.
Let's say your credit cards are freaky high at 24% or something. That's a 24% return for whatever you pay down.
50 > 24, so fund your 401k up to the match.
(I'm simplifying by not considering tax implications, but that's the general idea.)
