What happens if I don’t spend all of the money? Where does it go?

You will forfeit the money that remains in your account. Any excess funds are kept by the employer and can be used to offset the costs of administering the program. The IRS regulations require this, and do not allow employers to return the money to plan participants or to carry unused funds over to the next plan year.
