Should also be maxing out IRA (backdoor) and HSA if you have it. If your company has extra after tax as an option in your 401k, do that as well.
After exhausting all that, start investing in a brokerage account.
Make sure you're not keeping a ton on hand in cash beyond an emergency fund, because that money is losing value (inflation).
If you're truly happy living on half your salary (I am!), then you're going to have way more money then you need if you have a salary like this until 60+.
My recommendation would be to keep the foot on the gas pedal for a few more years, especially if you plan to have kids. After that, decide if you want to go part time or spend a bit more of your money, or allocate some of it to something specific (kids/nephew/nieces education, charity, etc). You'll only need like $2-2.5 mil saved up to support your current lifestyle, and you're going to blow past that at your current rate of savings (when you factor in growth).
Just make sure your investment risk is aligned with your retirement date.

What are your living expenses? I make about 150k in nyc and still manage to save about 65k a year. I think with 185k, you can at least get 75 to 80k a year while also living a decent life
Teach me! How do you save that much on 150k income in nyc?
I always optimized my savings by growing my TC and not my expenses (or very gradually). I suggest doing the same and then call it a day hopefully in 10-15 years
