Episode notes
Neighbor Doctor Prevented ER Trip
- Joel describes taking his daughter to a neighbor doctor after an elbow injury instead of going to the ER. He and Matt agree the neighbor visit felt community-minded and avoided huge hospital bills and lost time.
Use 0% APR Offers Only With Safeguards
- Do use a 0% intro APR to earn risk-free interest only if you can guarantee repayment before the promo ends. Set reminders or an automatic payment to avoid retroactive interest or high rates after the intro period.
Document HSA Expenses Carefully
- Do keep receipts and digitize HSA medical expenses so you can reimburse yourself tax-free later. Organize photos or a simple spreadsheet with date, amount, and provider to support withdrawals if audited.
