In order to effectively AVOID paying taxes, we’re going to use something called an HSA which stands for a Health, Savings, Account. What it is – is its a savings account, pure and simple. Think of your checking and savings but it’s a separate account that gives you multiple tax advantages. Anyone can have an HSA who’s enrolle in a high deductible health plan which is often abbreviated as – HDHP.
A deductible is what YOU have to pay FIRST before your insurance kicks in. For example, if you have $2,000 deductible healthcare plan, that means if you get into an accident and break your finger off, that means YOU have to cover up to $2,000 of it FIRST, before your insurance will pay for the rest of it. That’s what a deductible is. A premium on the other hand, is what you pay for your health insurance, usually on a monthly basis.
Money that goes into your HSA is yours FOREVER, and you use that money to pay for medical expenses without paying taxes on it. If you change jobs, or get fired from a job, you still get to keep your HSA BUT you can only contribute to it IF you’re enrolled in a qualifying HDHP.
if you lose your job halfway through the year, you can still contribute up to a certain percent of however long you worked for. So for example, if you worked for 6 months of the year, you can contribute up to half the limit which is $3,550 for individual plans, and 7100 for family plans in 2020. Also, you do NOT have to contribute a portion of your pay check each time, you can literally contribute NOTHING the entire year and then do one giant lump sum at the end of the year and max it out like I did with my Roth IRA when I set mine up when I made the tutorial with the M1 Finance app.
The HSA account is a way for the government to provide help for people with higher out of pocket costs by motivating people to hopefully save and invest their money so that they can pay for said costs. If you can take advantage of an HSA, it would be a very smart move for your money but in order to understand just WHY this is considered a super IRA, you have to understand the benefits of a few other accounts, specifically, your Traditional IRA, and your Roth IRA. The HSA account is like a hybrid of both of those accounts.
Most people however dismiss this account because of ONE simple rule. The health savings account can ONLY be used to pay for medical expenses. if you don’t use end up using your HSA for any medical expenses, you can actually use that money for ANY expenses after you turn 65 without a penalty. You’ll still have to pay income tax on money that you withdraw that are not qualified medical expenses, just like you would in a traditional IRA, but you won’t have any more penalties or fees. So worst case scenario, this HSA account literally becomes like your traditional IRA.
Leave this money alone, and let it sit invested in a low cost index fund that’s tracking the market IF your employer offers it. So instead of paying your medical bills and then reimbursing yourself with your HSA, pay for your medical bills with your normal tax money that you earn, and just leave your HSA account alone and let compound interest do the magic of multiplying your money.
BUT MAKE SURE, to keep track and hold on to ALL receipts of your medical expenses so you know how much you can withdraw from your HSA. As you start to pay those bills, you can increase the amount you can withdraw in early retirement. You’re basically concerting your HSA into an early retirement Roth IRA over time.
After age 65, any money that’s left that wasn’t used to pay for medical expenses you basically treat as a traditional IRA with any additional withdrawals to be taxed as ordinary income.fter age 65, any money that’s left that wasn’t used to pay for medical expenses you basically treat as a traditional IRA with any additional withdrawals to be taxed as ordinary income.

That moment you realize you get more excited about Andrei’s new video on Friday than what you are going to do on the weekend.
I am self employed and I will be dropped from my parents insurance in a two months when I turn 26. Can I get a HDHP if I am self employed?
I don't have any health insurance. My employer also doesn't offer any health insurance can I still open an HSA?? Or do I need to get a health plan?
Keeps me up too!
I'm currently unemployed. Do I have to have a job in order to get a HSA?
An issue with HSA/HDHP is when you have $300/month prescriptions.
I wish these accounts were more widely available when I was young – because I love the idea, it just makes less sense as I get older.
@1:19 madfientist… yeah! That was one of the yt channels way back that got me into FU money way before F.I.R.E
Still didn't achieve my financial independence yet but I'm back on it. I appreciate knowing that another finance youtuber I watch was also influenced by a simple YouTube channel with important content. 😁👍
The keeping receipts and reimbursing yourself later is the best part! Tax free money!
Your logo looks almost like Linkin Park. Good video and great info. Thanks.
What are the best business to start in 2021
Just make sure you consider that to get the 3x tax benefit you have to use it for medical purposes (regardless of age; you loose the penalty at 65, but you still pay income tax *effectively on the growth as well). I'm just saying if someone goes through with no major medical expenses they could have a crazy amount of money in that account and all of it will be taxed as income (and yea i get it wasn't taxed on the way in). I also get they saved tax by reducing income lifetime, but you have to consider the taxes saved by reducing income vs the tax you will pay > 65 (on all of it).
Also consider how awful keeping receipts for years sounds.
This guy really said he can’t afford a Tesla …
Recently mind blown with all the nee things I’ve learned omg what was I doing the past 20 years 😭
I am self employed and need a few more deductions this year, can I contribute the max to my HSA but pay med bills out of pocket and deduct them like I was doing before having a HSA? I know I wouldn't be able to use those med bills for later.
You can also buy into a life insurance plan that is similar to a savings account. That you can cash out.
Great content. Loving your channel man 🙂
YOU ARE SO AWESOME LOL Thank you so much for so much knowledge
Who's he tricking?… He doesn't have a Life!… He's an algorythm!
I try to persuade anybody and everybody to get HDHP/HSA if it's feasible for them. Where do you guys invest yours at? Health Savings Administrators for me.
i got a hsa account but here in canada we call it a health spending account eh.
Hi AJ. If someone have HSA bank HSA account, which funds they should invest ?
Initially: I guess Andrei is cool , the content is interesting and he even does magic.
After some time, watching videos: the content is getting better and better, and he's friends with Graham Stephan.
More time passes: Graham decides to move to Nevada. Hm , these two may be plotting something together… Will see.
Current day: Andrei has a new outro. Wait, is that Shin Lim?
Conclusion: Well I guess it won't get much better than that. Or? Andrei?
Very distracting with your gimmicks
Hey Andrei, very informative video. Thanks. Is it possible to contribute the full amount at the beginning of the year so to take advantage of investing early rather than waiting at the end of the year? Also, can you buy individual stocks with it?
reit vs s&p 500 style fund? i feel the reit is awesome cus something like O and its monthly dividend but then again s&p total should grow much more over time.
Not sure I agree that the way health care plans work is that you have to exhaust the deductible before they kick in (or at least not for every scenario). For example, with low deductible plans and other non HDHP's, they usually have copay amounts that a user pays from the get-go for office visits. For example, if I go to see a gastroenterologist, I pay the copay (and no more) for a specialist, whether I've met my deductible or not . This seems like an important difference that must people on YouTube seem to gloss over.
I'm currently someone who has always had low deductible plans but thinking about a HDHP for this year because I do like the ability to save/invest pre-tax money.
I live in Mississippi😲
if you were a super hero, I'd call you "The Flash" = ^ }
The maximum limit contribution for 2020 HSA for individuals is 3550. So you're able to reduce your taxable income by 3550 !!! How about the rest of your youtube millions?😜 How do you reduce your taxes on that?
Fusion Ha. Good one.
"withdrawing from HSA againts already paid for medical expenses (receipts) to fund Roth IRA saves you on taxes since you totally avoid paying any taxes"
This is incorrect. You paid for the medical expense with taxed money. So you didn't avoid taxes.
Bullshit you can't afford a Tesla.
4:14
Me: Visible confusion as Andrei types into a rotary phone complete with digit tones, nice joke
A few seconds later
Oh… that's no rotary…
Thanks. This was mind blowing when all the information clicked in my brain.
9:40 Andrei you're a legend. I dont have any knowledge about any of these stuff and im just learning all this from you but i was thinking if we could like have HSA chill and get another separate health insurance to pay for medical expense should something happen. Cant thank you enough.
Cool same background music as it’s not a puppy!!! Lol 😝
I laughed at "high dividend Healthcare plan"
Hi Anderi, thanks for the video, with which financial institution you set up your HSA account? I've been looking at the the healthcare gov providers list, but still not sure where to set one up,best regards, great content like always
I choose not have health insurance and thanks to Trump I don't have to pay the obamatax
I wish they changed the tax law to allow people with regular health insurance to invest in an HSA. My employer won't offer high deductible plans (older workforce).
HSA index in gold to hedge inflation???
HSA Account = health savings account account
I live in Mississippi and I would say that’s accurate 😂 Cheers!

Andrei can you make a video about living here and making money here and then retiring abroad
hey Andrei can you do a similar video for Canadians?
That moment when you are from Europe and anything makes sense.
