Make sure you invest at least "up to the match". Meaning, if your company will match up to 3% of the percentage you put in, put in at least 3%. 6% of your income will be being saved then!
Simply don't let it be a choice to not do this. Don't throw away free money!
What I need to get better at (meaning, actually do!), is increase my 401K/403b contribution each year when I get my raise (a measley 1%). I should automatically put that 1% increase into my 403b (or actually, in my case I would put it into my Roth, but, that is besides the point...)
