If you don't need the money right now, there is no better return on your money than a 401k match unless you're a warren buffet tier genius slumming it in home depot for some reason.

Absolutely! Not only at The Home Depot but at any other companies that offers it. It is an investment for your future self - a retirement plan. If you're a FTE with 1 year into HD, I would recommend contributing at least 5% to your 401K to get a full match from the company. 13. Award.
You can designate any percentage of each paycheck that you want to go into your 401k account. HD will match up to 5%. If you put in 1%, they will add the same amount.

A 401 (k) is a retirement account. If you withdraw early you have to have a reason (medical expenses, buying a house, etc) and you will pay huge taxes on it. 1200 dollars (probably like 800 after taxes) is not going to solve the long term problem of you not setting aside money for monthly bills. If you do withdraw, it will be in the form of a ...
Move the money into a different investment fund with the same financial institution as soon as you quit. When I quit a job once, I left the 401K as it was and 2 months later, my previous employer took money out of it to pay for money they thought I owed them (I didn’t owe anything).
Go to livetheorangelife.com [1] and click on Savings and Retirement. THD should match up to 5% I believe which is increased over the 4% it used to be. I would also look at purchasing stock as its only bee going up over the last few years with an nearly automatic return of 15%. Home depot recently changed it.
