Guessing you are in good health. Take the savings vs another plan and put in an hsa account. Don't use the account until you retire. You just increased your retirement savings.

Also, many times you can invest the funds in the HSA.

Max HSA from day 1

30m, single you should be good with high deductible plan. I have 2 kids and a wife and made a mistake getting the high deductible plan. Will be switching at next enrollment period.

Folks, why is this Boston Bowl so quiet (relatively speaking)? Is our community so small that we think there’s no anonymity to our posts? Are we so busy juggling (with Covid making it worse) that there’s no time for this? Or are we blissfully happy so not much to question or comment on? I learn much from the conversations in other Bowls and think Boston wisdom would be good to read too.
