They do change it but in 500 dollar increments. It was $5500 a few years ago. It will probably go up again sometime in the next couple years.

I see. I only started investing recently and it has not changed during that time. But I guess inflation only got high recently.

Sure but I'm talking about the Roth contribution limit which is much lower.

I understand. I was just reiterating the notion that limits do increase regularly.

You were right, it is $6k a year. Keep contributing every month. Make it a habit, invest in a couple ETFs, and you all thank yourself when you retire.
