Hi, I have around 10k in HSA and need some cash for the some immediate expenses but don’t want to pay the penalty. Is there a way to do that?

A few possible options -
- check back for any eligible spending since when you opened the account: OTC medicine, feminine hygiene, medial, vision, dental, you probably have some eligible spending you never got reimbursed yet.
- if you pull out on Jan 1st you could expect you’ll have some eligible expenses to use in 2025 (then pay the penalty on anything else?)
- since it’s self certified, you can also just pull out, report as eligible on your tax return and hope you aren’t audited (of course this is tax fraud, not advised, but some people do it)

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏
