Benefits of Health Savings Accounts

Health savings accounts (HSAs) are highlighted as a valuable financial tool due to their triple-tax-free nature. Contributions to HSAs are tax deductible, the account growth is tax-deferred, and withdrawals for healthcare expenses are tax-free, making it a unique and advantageous account for saving and spending on medical costs, potentially outperforming traditional retirement accounts like 401(k)s and Roth IRAs.
