Some organizations offer a "matching contribution" as an incentive for you to make your own contributions to the employer-sponsored retirement plan. It means the organization will contribute a certain amount to your account for every dollar you contribute, up to a certain limit. If your employer offers matching contributions to your plan, consider contributing at least enough to receive the match. Matching contributions are like getting free money in your retirement account.
