Post Body

I'm starting a graduate job at 25k. My pension scheme is as follows. They put in 10% (I put in nothing), if I put in another 5%, they will put in another max 5% too.

This can change and is set by myself. I can vary between 0-5% how much I contribute and they will match accordingly.

Should I just leave the pension contribution at 10% or should I go all the way up to another 5% from me to be later matched by the company. Or should I save the money and use it to save for a house? I appreciate any advice you can give
