Max out Roth 401k and use HYSA if needed

I'm considering contributing 50% to max out my Roth 401k this year, using my HYSA to cover expenses if needed.

What I wish I knew
"I should prioritize my emergency fund before maxing out my retirement accounts"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your overall financial situation and prioritize your goals before making significant changes to your contributions."
