Yes. Two kids. We didn’t get past deductible but still spent less Money overall

Yes, the difference in premiums for us (fam of 5) is enough to fully fund our HSA so we only lose if we have roughly between roughly 8k and 10k medical expenses. Window might even be smaller haven't done the math yet this year.

You could make the argument that we win regardless as we can choose to not use the HSA funds and let them grow tax free plus get CC rewards on the spending.

What do you mean?

We did the same with two kids... Based on the numbers I’ve ran, it makes more sense to pay OOP.

+1 on the credit card points!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid."

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
