Believe it or not, your HSA could be a valuable part of your financial plan – if you know how to really use it. According to EFE Financial Planner Christy Martinich, the real power of an HSA is paying medical expenses out of pocket and investing the HSA funds long term.
In this episode of Money on Your Mind, host Michael Liersch and planner Christy Martinich break down why HSAs are so appealing to those in the know, and common misconceptions about how the account works. They also chat about taking an honest look at your monthly expenses and why it might be time to include subscriptions in your spring cleaning.
