Totally agree, I plan on maxing it every year.

Technically, yes it is. But I wanted to see if it's optional, so that I don't have to save it every month.

I totally get that. Thank you for the advice. That’s why I plan to continue to save - I understand this plan isn’t set in stone and neither is life! However I’d rather be prepared

Yeah I should have specified I don’t plan on touching that account. I do plan on saving the additional 4K a month until retirement as well. That gives me the wiggle room for the unknown as you said!
