Yep, that's the plan. Anything less than 6% is free money you're losing (not that it's much). Anything more is money you're locking up in a 401k you may unfortunately not live long enough to cash out on.

I do both. Max matched contribution to 401k and any additional to SPY

You have a 30+ yr investment horizon. Completely foolish to own any fixed income imho. Unless it helps you emotionally that is
