Here are 4 reasons why:

REASON 1: YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS
For the average worker, Social Security may provide up to 40% of your retirement needs. Savings in the AutoNation 401(k) Plan can be a big step toward building savings for the future.

REASON 2: GIVE YOURSELF A TAX BREAK
Pretax savings—Contributions to the plan are made before taxes are calculated, which means you pay less taxes today.

or
Roth after-tax savings—Contributions are taxed today, but distributions in retirement are tax-free and so are the earnings.1

REASON 3: FREE MONEY FROM AUTONATION
For every $1 you contribute up to 5% of your eligible earnings per paycheck, AutoNation will add another $0.50 to your account. You can also maximize the AutoNation match when you contribute 5% of your pay. If you do so, another 2.5% of your pay will be added to your account.2

REASON 4: THE MAGIC OF COMPOUNDING
The sooner you start, the more powerful your savings engine. Your contributions and earnings can grow tax-deferred, and earnings are reinvested in your account. $100 saved each month over 40 years could grow to almost $200,000.

The AutoNation 401(k) Plan offers two options for tax savings within the Plan:

401(k) Option

Your contributions are deducted from your paycheck before income taxes are withheld, reducing your taxable income. You pay taxes on your contributions and related earnings when you make withdrawals in retirement.2 For more information, access your 401(k) below, and click on Plan Details and then Plan Highlights.

Roth Option

Your contributions are deducted from your paycheck after income taxes are withheld. You pay no taxes on your contributions and related earnings when you make withdrawals
in retirement.1

1. For Roth after-tax contributions and earnings to be eligible for tax-free withdrawals, your initial Roth deposit must have been in your account for at least five years, and you must be at least age 59 1/2 (or in the event of your disability or your death).

2. Subject to IRS restrictions

3. This amount is based on saving $100 a month, with a 6% rate of return compounded monthly. This example is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be investment advice or a prediction of future results.
