Are Health Savings Accounts Better Than a 401(k)? (Ep. 10)

July 18, 2023

Have you ever heard about the Health Savings Account (HSA) used in retirement planning?


Simply put, if a 401(k) and a Roth IRA were to produce an offspring, it would be the HSA — because of its unique tax advantages that gives you the best of both accounts!


In this insightful episode, Jim Kruzan, CFP®, CRPC®, makes a compelling case for Health Savings Accounts, especially when 401(k) plans have long been hailed as the go-to option for retirement. He explains how HSAs can help you achieve a bigger, bolder retirement due to their tax benefits, flexibility, and attractive contribution limits.


Jim discusses:


  • The triple tax advantages of HSAs (contribution, growth, and withdrawal)
  • What happens to your HSA if you change your employer
  • How HSAs differ from Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and 401(k) plans
  • How HSAs can help reduce your total medical expenses in retirement
  • The limitations of an HSA
  • And more
