The max is $70K per year including your own $23,500 contribution (i.e., the employer can give you a "match" of up to $46,500).

Also, I assume 401(k) is being used colloquially here and that people are including IRAs too. You can put up to $70K in one of those every year.

If that's your perspective then sure, stop contributing into 401k. However, it turns out that 65 year olds generally don't want to just killself and if they're broke end up regretting blowing it on dumb shit like a yacht.

~$300k, which is less than I have in my normal brokerage account. And less than I have in crypto.

I've only ever put in in $6k / year, which is all my company will match.

Used to put money into an IRA separately, but stopped that a while back. I'm going to inherit 8 figures, so make more sense to stack up liquid assets now I can use to invest in real estate, private credit funds, etc.
