Basically I wanted to know when it comes to your 401k matching do you guys count that as "gains" or just contributions that do not come from you when analyzing the performance of your portfolio?
I have been contributing to my 401k since Nov/Dec 2024 and here is the breakdown so far:
I contributed $1705
my employer contributed: $368.50
My current balance is $2042.40
Basically when looking at the returns of just my personal contributions I am up 20% essentially.
When looking at my returns from total contributions (including my employers match) I am down 1.5%
How do ppl commonly look at it?
