401K Financial Planning

anon in idaho asked:

Just how does one start a 401K if you work at Wal-Mart? Do you need a specific amount to start with? Does Wal-Mart match dollars invested or do anything special with 401K’s there to make them larger or not?

So, if I intend to leave my current company in a year & move my 401K into another 401K or IRA option, does it make sense to just keep everything in a money market fund? Would I have to stay with the same funds for 5 or more years to reap any benefits from the stock market? Thanks.
