If you are over 50 years old and looking to save for your healthcare expenses, a Health Savings Account (HSA) can be a valuable tool. An HSA allows you to set aside pre-tax money to pay for qualified medical expenses. In 2018, the HSA contribution limits for individuals over 50 increased, providing even greater opportunities for savings.
The 2018 HSA limit for individuals over 50 was $1,000 higher than the limit for those under 50. This means that if you are 50 or older, you could contribute up to $4,450 to your HSA if you have self-only coverage, or up to $7,900 if you have family coverage.
