Should I max out my HSA contribution?
I am maxing my 401k though.

Also, if I max my HSA, can I invest say 50% and keep the other 50% for expenses?

If possible, max your HSA and don’t spend it at all. It’s the only triple-tax advantaged account in existence

Also if HSA contributions are done through employer there is no FICA tax so 1.45-7.65% savings depending on where your salary relative to SS limit.

That’s what I’m doing. Max it out. Don’t touch. Pay any medical expenses out of pocket, post tax income

Max it out and never use the money. It’s basically a stealth IRA

But better. assuming you can afford to let it grow.

You can invest any surplus above $1000. So you can keep this amount as standby for expenses and invest anything additional in funds that your hsa provides.

My company uses Fidelity HSA and there is no requirement. I keep ~$250 in cash, the rest invested.

Agree with others to max and let it grow if possible. That said, it is better to max and use half than to only contribute half in the first place.

My HSA is through healthequity. For those using the same platform, how to manage the investment? I am not very knowledgeable so I chose to use the service Advisory GPS but noticed the return it has been negative recently even though the portfolio is balanced at 99%… any advise or tip would be really appreciated, thanks!

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!
