The Value of HSAs with Larry Swedroe

Reading Time: 2 minutes On today’s Intelligent Money Minute, we’ll interview Larry Swedroe on the value of HSAs. HSAs are becoming more popular as people grow to understand them. Multiple benefits come when utilizing an HSA. First, there’s an upfront tax deduction. The second benefit is using the HSA as a way to fund medical expenses. Larry suggests to those who have sufficient taxable dollars to pay their medical bills without an HSA. They should treat the HSA as an investment account. The benefit is that it’s never taxed. As Larry and I mentioned, there are a lot of benefits to using an HSA if you qualify. We’ve written a comprehensive blog on this topic on our website. At Intelligent Investing we strive to minimize fees and we think of taxes as another fee that we try and minimize for our clients.
