You have a really good plan there. Sure, it may have only returned 7%, but of what's in there you only had to contribute 1/3. It beats the hell out of what I have. Mine will match 100% of my contributions that tops out at $1300 / year with a 4 year vesting schedule. And I couldn't even get INTO it until being here for a full year. After I hit the $1300 I stop contributing and just invest the rest in taxable accounts and IRAs. The advantages of a higher amount being invested will performance for along time if your horizon is for decades. You'll have plenty of time to hit benchmarks. For now, keep on getting that 200% match from your employer. Wow. You have a really good plan there. Sure, it may have only returned 7%, but of what’s in there you only had to contribute 1/3.
