Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) may be the most powerful tax-free retirement planning tool available, yet most people use them completely wrong.
If you’re enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), your HSA could offer triple tax-free growth and a strategic way to fund healthcare and Medicare costs in retirement.
Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to turn your HSA from a simple medical spending account into a long-term, tax-efficient retirement asset.
In this video, you’ll learn:
HSA eligibility rules, 2026 contribution limits, catch-up contributions, and the December “last-month rule”
How High Deductible Health Plans qualify you to contribute
Why leaving your HSA in cash limits long-term growth
How to invest your HSA using brokerage options
The “invest now, reimburse later” strategy to build tax-free retirement liquidity
How HSAs can cover Medicare premiums, COBRA coverage, long-term care premiums, and other retirement healthcare costs
