Two of the greatest challenges Americans face today are healthcare and retirement. It's well known that each of those challenges are extremely complex but they’re also surprisingly interdependent. Ever-rising health care costs combined with staggering retirement projections make it difficult for Americans to build savings with confidence.
The beauty of intertwined problems is that they often have a connected solution. By themselves, HSAs and 401(k)s make significant strides. But their true magnitude can only be experienced when working together and optimizing every dollar in three ways:
For every employee that uses an HSA-powered health plan, an employer saves a substantial amount in taxes (FICA, state and federal unemployment, etc). These savings can be used to further fund HSA and retirement nest eggs through larger matches or contributions. This in turn, provides employees with more to invest in a much more efficient manner which helps you keep your healthcare costs down. Instead of it being a vicious cycle, it’s a virtuous cycle.
