In a recent question [Should I dump my savings into my student debt?](http://money.stackexchange.com/questions/69649/should-i-dump-my-savings-into-my-student-debt), there was push back from a member regarding the strong advice to save to the match. 

Is there ever a time to not deposit to the match, and pay other debt off faster? 

(To those not familiar with the 401(k), it is a US retirement account, which often has a feature where the employer will 'match' the deposits of the employee, up to a certain level. For example, my employer matched up to the first 6% of my income. At year end, if I deposited, say 10% of my salary, I would see a total 16%, as 6 was matched.)
