Re: Batteries... just so ya know

Re: Saverin expatriation.

Re: Saverin expatriation.

This forum is filled with people, not from the USA, who feel otherwise. A US Passport still is - and will be for the foreseeable future - the most valuable document you can possess in the world....

Re: UK Passport timeline

Re: Travelling to UK with American In-Laws

I traveled with my nephew (who did not have a UK passport) last year, and we both went through the Non-EU line. If they don't have stamps in the EU line (for non-EU Passport holders), you might have...

Re: HSA verses HRA health accounts

It will most likely double the max out of pocket - but it also increases your max yearly contribution to the HSA to $6,000.

Re: HSA verses HRA health accounts

If you switch from a HDHP to a standard HMO, it should be up to you whether you reclaim the money that you (in good faith) placed in a HSA to fund your previous plan. To pay a penalty to recover...

A tax break/writeoff is generally non-recoverable (for instance, writing off dependents, qualifying expenses, etc). With a HSA (I'm...

Re: HSA verses HRA health accounts

There is no "tax break" for contributing to an HSA, besides the fact that the contributions are "pre tax". To pay an additional 20% to take out your own money (for instance - if you leave a job, and...

Re: HSA verses HRA health accounts

I'd go with an HSA. The money never expires - and you can put up to $3,000/year into the account tax free. The only issue is that if you need to take that money back out - not only do you pay your...

Re: HSA verses HRA health accounts

HSA's are the way to go, if you're a healthier individual. I have one through my company, and have nothing bad to say about it.
