An HSA is more than a way to pay for current healthcare costs. It can play a critical role in long term retirement planning when paired with a 401(k). The average 65-year-old today may need more than $172,000 for healthcare expenses in retirement, yet many employees have not accounted for this in their savings strategy.
By using both an HSA and a 401(k), employees can strengthen their financial future. Those who take advantage of this combination tend to save more, feel more confident about retirement, and are less likely to tap into their savings early. Together, these benefits create a more complete approach to preparing for both everyday needs and future healthcare costs.
