The Most Powerful Tax-Free Retirement Tool: Start Leveraging Your HSA Now
Manage episode 479770575 series 3307298
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) don’t get much attention—but they should. With triple tax advantages (tax-free contributions, growth, and qualified withdrawals), HSAs offer a level of flexibility that’s hard to beat.
I break down how to use an HSA not just for healthcare today, but as a long-term planning tool. That includes how to qualify, contribute, invest the funds, and take strategic withdrawals.
I also explain why it’s worth tracking medical expenses—even if you don’t reimburse yourself right away—to create future options for tax-free income.
What you'll learn:
1. How an HSA can help reduce your lifetime tax burden and fit into a broader retirement strategy
2. Ways to maximize the tax benefits beyond just paying current medical bills
