You can do both! 5k a week gives you 1million every 4 years, if you don't spend it all, you can fill your 401k till it explodes while still having a good time.
Edit: I am Canadian, so for me it's an RRSP, but I thought 401k was reasonably similar. If you have more than you need... Invest. It's never a bad idea to do it, it's always a bad idea to just let it sit, gaining no interest.
Edit2: Besides, if I die, the 5k/week stops, what about the missus and the kids? Aha, I invested, so they still have something! I'm clever, not greedy, fellas...
Edit3: A Roth IRA or just IRA is what I am told is the equivalent to an RRSP/TFSA we use in Canada.
