    I wasn’t a believer when I started at an ESOP. But looking at my retirement funds after working for 8 years at the company. Then comparing it to friends who were given shares of large public companies and making maybe like 10k over 4 years. Absolutely worth it.

      If I were eligible this year, it would have been >20k just given to me for retirement. They also contribute to 401k. It’s nothing crazy but it’s something on top of ESOP. I don’t want to need to work until I’m to old to enjoy retirement, but my wife and I like to travel now. This helps do both.
