Yeah! I should have been clear that I already made the decision, but was still
mulling over whether I should have done the lower amount to hedge against unforeseen cash flow problems and health challenges.

Are those contributions that will be made to your HSA account? DMBA can’t

You can't contribute to an HSA and FSA.

You can contribute to an HSA and a limited purpose FSA

Thank you for that. That makes sense. I can contribute to dental and vision, but
RexburgCougar
Nov 12, 12:58pm
That is a limited purpose FSA. You can have that if you have an HSA.

And you can use HSA for dental and vision costs.

Yeah, that's a good idea if you can afford to do it that way

I put in $750 - $1000 per year on my limited purpose FSA - low enough that I'm sure I'll use it all

I'm a little below that at $50/mo., but for the same reasons.

I like taking on higher risk but so i would choose the 6k and max

Correct. Though I would have a cashflow problem if I even tried to max it out

Nice! 4% match is great.

It depends on the premiums and how many medical expenses you have each year.
RGGeemer
Nov 12, 12:54pm
This is the risk, but I am banking on the fact that a $6,000 premium isn't too

The savings plan is the same. You can contribute up to $8,550 to your HSA no

I would choose the $3k HSA and not spend any of it. Put it away and let it grow

I'm not convinced the $3k is a company contribution....I'm thinking that is just

The deductible is $6K and the contribution is $3K for the HSA60 plan.

Interesting. Sounds like that is the way to go then. The extra $1500
