So make the difference up I need to contribue the $22k or whatever the IRS limit is. So more money out of my pocket to acheive the same thing for a minimal return on investment. At my age I'd rather have the extra $10k in liquidity than put it into a bond fund.
At least the spill into the HRA/AHA is useful to use and it's also tax leveraged.
HRA is tax free. Pre tax money, growth untaxed, and not taxed on withdrawals. I know some of you already have more than the recommended $315,000 needed for medical in retirement but my hunch is most don't.
As far as aggressive options, you do know you can sweep everything into your Schwab PCRA brokerage account and get pretty damn aggressive. You can even trade leveraged stuff. Hell Vanguard doesn't let you do that.
