HSA - Factoid!
Key Aspects of a Vanguard-Funded HSA (via HealthEquity):
- Investment Options: You can choose from a lineup of low-cost Vanguard mutual funds, often considered ideal for long-term growth and retirement planning.
- Eligibility: You must have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to open and contribute to an HSA.
- Contribution Limits (2025):$4,300 for individuals, $8,550 for families, with a $1,000 catch-up contribution allowed for those aged 55 or older.
- Triple Tax Advantage: Contributions are tax-deductible, earnings grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals are tax-free for qualified medical expenses.
- Portability & Rollover: Unlike FSAs, HSA balances roll over year-to-year, and the account remains yours even if you change employers.
- Retirement Strategy: After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for non-medical expenses without penalty, though they will be taxed as income.
