I didn't know that we could use HSA medical expense reimbursement in the future and not the year you incurred the over counter expense!
- Heather

All of it was great. Greg did a great job of laying out how/when the HSA contribution is better than getting an employer match on 401k. Slides helped his explanation a lot.
- J. Chris

It was an eye-opener to learn that HSA contributions can be more impactful than 401k matching!
- Elise

"Learned something that maybe I should have known beforehand:

Folks still pay FICA tax on Pre-tax 401K contributions

HSA contributions are taken out BEFORE FICA tax"
