Back in Episode 80 I talked about Health Savings Accounts in conjunction with some high deductible health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act. An HSA is a great idea if you have one of these plans.

Find out how in this episode! In this episode you will learn: What an HSA is The pros and cons of having one Who can set one up Who can contribute to one (and how much) How an HSA helps with retirement planning Is one right for you? But to learn the most, talk to the HR person with your employer and/or a financial professional to get the right advice for you.
