Health savings accounts are the most incredible tool available for retirement savings. Unfortunately, too many people I meet are missing out on using HSAs as part of their retirement strategy. We are going to do a deep dive into HSAs, but...

They are best for people who do not have a lot of health care costs every year and have the money to make the maximum contributions to an HSA. They have triple tax advantages in that your contributions are tax-deductible, earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. You enjoy lower health insurance expenses compared to a low-deductible plan. You get tax deductions for contributions, tax-free growth, easy access to the money before age 59.5, you can have investment opportunities for long-term growth, and a plan to cover health-related expenses in retirement. Unlike a traditional IRA, there are no RMDs, and after age 65, you can access the money for non-medical expenses without the 20% penalty. You can delay reimbursements and allow your HSA to grow tax-free and then take a tax-free lump sum in the future. And once you turn age 65 and start Medicare, you can use your HSA to reimburse the costs of Medicare Part B and Part D or pay for Medicare Advantage plan premiums.
