Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) offer a unique 'triple' tax advantage: pre-tax contributions, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for medical costs.
Investing Your HSA
Don't just let the money sit in cash. Many HSAs allow you to invest in mutual funds for long-term growth.
A Second Retirement Account
After age 65, you can withdraw funds for any reason without penalty (though non-medical withdrawals are taxed as income).
Eligibility Requirements
You must be enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to contribute to an HSA.
