The downside is you have to look at this as savings uncoupled to the stock market. It is not an investment but you’ll never loose money.

On January 1 every year, $10k gets dropped in, tax refund is also deposited up to $5k. As such, overpaying income taxes to gain a big refund becomes a winning strategy.
Thanks for your thoughts. I see things pretty much the same as you. I should be able to go the five years without touching it, but you never know. It just bothers me to leave it sitting at the credit union.
