Health Savings Account (HSA)


Imagine your HSA like a health piggy bank. You and your employer can toss in money, and the cool part is, it's all tax-free. This money isn't just for everyday medical stuff; you can use it for doctor visits, prescriptions, and even that pair of glasses you've been eyeing. Plus, since it's your account, you get to keep whatever you don't use, and it rolls over year after year. So, it's like your health money grows and stays yours. It's a great way to take charge of your healthcare costs and stash away some funds for the future.
