ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Choosing between a traditional PPO plan and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a Health Savings Account (HSA) is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make during Open Enrollment. Pick the right plan, and you can unlock hundreds of dollars a month in extra cash flow to throw at your debt snowball while sheltering up to $9,000 tax-free. Pick the wrong plan, and a single urgent care visit in February can wreck your monthly budget.
Today, we’re running a real-world 4-part HSA stress test for families so you can confidently check the right box before your Open Enrollment deadline closes.
