Follow the link at the top to see the first post in the series, and compare. @ downtown, that's a subset of #1. Income is income, whether in the form of salary, 401(k) match, bonuses, or whatever. And yes, that's definitely one of the top reasons to have a job. @ Jeff, thanks! @ monko and @ Joe, I think you might have missed the sarcasm here.

I'm so dumbfounded by these that I think they can only be a joke of some sort. These are the lamest arguments for having a job that I’ve ever read.

Surprised it's not on the list. Most companies with a retirement savings plan match your contribution, and that's free money.
