1044. Are rising healthcare costs ruining your budget? Laura answers a listener's question about how to maximize every tax advantage available for healthcare costs. You'll learn the rules for deducting them on your tax return or paying them with tax-advantaged savings accounts like HSAs and FSAs. We'll cover which expenses are tax-free and simple strategies to optimize your healthcare spending.Key Takeaways:You can only claim the medical tax deduction if you itemize deductions on Schedule A instead of claiming the standard deduction on your tax return.You can only deduct unreimbursed healthcare expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), making the medical deduction best for years with high medical bills.Tax-advantaged medical savings accounts are powerful because they allow you to save 20% to 35% on qualified costs without claiming a medical deduction.Health savings account (HSA) balances roll over forever, can be invested for tax-free growth, and can be withdrawn penalty-free for non-medical expenses after age 65 (subject to ordinary income tax).Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are employer-sponsored perks for cutting healthcare costs.You cannot claim an itemized medical deduction on Schedule A for any healthcare expense paid for or reimbursed using pre-tax funds from an HSA, FSA, or HRA.Lawmakers have expanded HSA, FSA, and HRA qualified expenses to cover various over-the-counter (OTC) medications and products.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

Is a Health Savings Account Right for You? Episode 395 – A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.” You can get a deduction going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But they're not for everybody as there are some major caveats. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 395 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: is a Health Savings Account right for you? What would you say if someone told you about an investment vehicle where you get a tax deduction going in, the money in the account grows tax-free, and the withdrawals are tax-free when they come out? Such a product exists, but it's not quite that simple. An Individual Retirement Account or IRA doesn't work that way. You get a deduction going in, but you pay income tax when you take the money out. A Roth IRA lets you take the money out tax-free (with certain qualifications), but you don't get a deduction when you put the money in. A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.”[1] You can get a deduction on monies going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But there are some major caveats to understand. HSAs don't work for everyone. Only certain people can contribute, and when you take the money out, there are some conditions that need to be met if you want to take full advantage of the tax incentives. Here's how an HSA works. To contribute, you need to be part of what the Internal Revenue Service or IRS calls a “High-Deductible Health Plan.” The IRS defines a high-deductible health plan as one that requires an annual deductible. A deductible is the amount one must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare before health insurance coverage will share in the costs. In 2026, the minimum deductibles for a high deductible HSA health plan are set at $1,700 for coverage on yourself only, and $3,400 if the coverage includes your family.[2] Also, the out-of-pocket maximum cannot be higher than $8,500 for self-only coverage and $17,000 for family coverage. There are more rules. To contribute to an HSA, you can't be enrolled in another plan that is not considered HSA-eligible, nor can you be someone claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. If you're not sure whether your plan qualifies, you will need to ask either the benefits administrator where you work or the plan provider. And for the record, Medicare does not count as a high-deductible medical plan. So, you can't participate in an HSA if you're covered by Medicare. As with almost any tax-advantaged investment vehicle, there are contribution limits. For 2026, you can contribute up to $4,400 for yourself, or $8,750 if your high-deductible plan covers your family.[3] And much like a 401(k), your employer can match your HSA contribution. In fact, in 2024 approximately 84 percent of employees covered by a qualified HSA health plan also received a contribution from their employers.[4] Note that the limits above are overall limits that include both the employee and, if applicable, employer contributions. Then there's the issue of distributions from the account. Distributions can be tax-free, but with some significant restrictions. To be tax-free, the distributions must be used for what the IRS calls “qualified medical expenses.” And what are qualified medical expenses? These might include hospital care, ambulance services, hearing aids, lab fees, dental and vision care, and other things. You can even use an HSA for health-care-related travel, massage therapy and substance abuse treatment.[5] [6] An HSA can be used for expenses both big and small. If your distribution doesn't meet the qualifications, any withdrawals after age 65 are considered fully taxable, like a traditional IRA or 401(k). Before age 65 there is also a 20 percent early withdrawal penalty. This means that, if necessary, you could treat an HSA as a secondary retirement plan. But of course, if you have qualified medical expenses that need to be paid, the taxation incentive would make them a better option. When it comes time to withdraw money as needed, you can either pay the provider directly from the HSA account (many providers offer the use of a debit card tied to the account) or pay the provider yourself and get reimbursed from the account.[7] Note that an HSA is different from a Flexible Spending Account or FSA. An FSA is another, albeit generally less popular, type of account designed to help with medical expenses. The employer generally owns an FSA, whereas the employee owns an HSA. But an FSA is also, in most cases, a “use it or lose it” type of account. At the end of the year (plus an optional grace period), you lose any money that's left over in your FSA.[8] Also note that in most circumstances, you can have a general-purpose FSA or HSA, but not both.[9] An HSA has no such restriction when it comes to how long it takes to use it. If you don't spend the money, it rolls over within the account. It belongs to you forever, even if you switch jobs. Of course, these sums, invested over several decades, can amount to a significant amount of money by the time you use them. Compounding plays a role here just like most other investment vehicles, only this time it may all be potentially tax-free. One final thought about HSAs. As we've mentioned before, the cost of health care for seniors can be staggering. According to Fidelity, a 65-year-old individual may need an after-tax total of $172,500 to cover the cost of health care expenses in retirement.[10] In the right circumstances, an HSA can be a tax-efficient way to fund some of those costs.

It was supposed to be another beautiful summer afternoon at Bear Lake. Families were out on the water. Kids were playing along the shoreline. Then a scream cut across the lake. Something had gone terribly wrong.A young man paddled toward a boat filled with frantic women—and realized immediately that someone's life was in danger. But what happened next is the part of this story we can't stop thinking about.Two people would arrive with strangely specific skills and supplies needed for this exact emergency. Neither of them had any idea why those skills were about to matter so much. Was it all coincidence? Or had God been quietly preparing them for a moment they couldn't possibly have anticipated?LILIA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/92d668555THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS:Bon Charge Order the Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask today at https://boncharge.com Use promo code MIRACLE to get 15%, FREE shipping and a 12-month warranty.

Attention specialty crop farmers: if your 2025 crops were impacted by input costs or natural disasters, TODAY is the deadline to finish your application for the USDA's Assistance for Specialty Crop Farmers program.

On Thursday we saw corn and soybeans quietly higher, wheat, cattle, and hogs all lower. We start the show in Segment One with analysis from our Midday Commentary with Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist at StoneX. Then, it's a new episode of Cattle Chatter with Susan Littlefield as she talks with Brad Kooima from Kooima Kooima Varilek, who breaks down the ongoing volatility, including the lack of open interest and the challenges facing the market. He also discusses the uncertainty surrounding the Fort Morgan plant, dry pastures across parts of the West while other areas are finally receiving rain, and what those conditions could mean for cattle supplies. Then we talk with Bryan Doherty from Total Farm Marketing who discusses why corn may be closer to a breakdown than it looks, what next week's WASDE and FSA numbers could mean for direction, why the stock market rally isn't translating cleanly to livestock, and why he can't find a convincing bearish case for wheat right now. Later, Bryan continues his ongoing options strategy series with a breakdown of short call and short put options — what they are, how they work, and why they can be powerful tools for producers and end users alike.

Born in a hand-built, off-grid cabin deep in the Montana wilderness, Kelsey grew up without electricity, surrounded by isolation and the constant challenges of life in the wild. When she was just nine years old, she came face-to-face with a massive mountain lion—and believed she was about to die. Until a dog she never wanted ended up being the hero she needed. As Kelsey looks back, she doesn't just remember the hardships—she sees the quiet ways God was guiding and protecting her all along. From unexpected moments of provision to life-changing encounters and remarkable answers to prayer, she began to recognize the miracles that carried her through every season. This unforgettable true story is a powerful reminder that even in life's darkest moments, hope can appear in the most unexpected ways—and sometimes the greatest miracles are the ones we only recognize in hindsight.----------------------- If you're a fan of true crime but crave a dose of inspiration instead of tales of darkness, The Miracle Files is your perfect alternative.

In episode 294 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Brent Yates, founder of AION, to break down the real science behind weighted vest training — and why adding load, compression, and heat to your daily walks and workouts could be one of the smartest longevity moves a man over 40 can make. Dr. Anthony speaks from personal experience, having worn the AION vest daily on his morning walks with his dog Luna and during bodyweight training sessions, noticing more calorie burn, more sweat, and a genuine upgrade in workout quality without changing anything else.Brent's story is compelling on its own. At 60, he was competing professionally in long drive golf contests when he tore his supraspinatus, underwent surgery, and watched 15 pounds of hard-earned muscle disappear while 15 pounds of belly fat took its place. Frustrated by every weighted vest on the market — all of which hurt his body or compromised his movement — he built his own. What emerged was a patented three-in-one system: compression for blood flow and recovery, thermogenic heat trapping for calorie burn, and fractional load distributed across nearly 45% of the body.The data backs it up. AION's research shows the vest gets you into Zone 2 cardio 50% faster than wearing a t-shirt, with 20% higher heart rates and 18% more calories burned during the same workout. Brent also shares his mindset framework for comeback after injury — a powerful message for any man over 40 who feels like he's starting over physically. If you want to do more with less, train smarter as you age, and build a tool into your daily life that keeps working even when you're walking the dog or playing pickleball, this episode delivers.Rate & Review – If this episode helped you think differently about how you train and recover after 40, please take a minute to rate and review the Fit Father Project Podcast.

Headline: The Medieval Warm Period and the Rise of Parallel Empires Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title: The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The Medieval Warm Period (950–1250 AD) was marked by low volcanism and climatic stability, facilitating the rise of "power empires" across the globe. Frankopan details the expansion of the Vikings into the North Atlantic, driven by the trade of valuable walrus ivory and hides. This colonization often involved violence and the forced movement of women from Ireland and Scotland to settle new lands like Iceland. In North America, the city of Cahokia thrived as a cosmopolitan center with massive mounds, yet eventually collapsed due to resource exhaustion and social unrest. Simultaneously, the Chola Empire in India and the Khmer in Southeast Asia flourished, fueling each other's growth through trade and diplomatic exchange. The Cholawere particularly successful in exporting Indian culture and Hinduism. Frankopan argues that these parallel empires succeeded because they could plan for the future without major environmental shocks, though they eventually "suffocated" under their own administrative and ecological weight.

In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Danny Friday, CEO and Founder of Sail, joins Theodora Lau to unpack why the "boring" corners of fintech — HSA and FSA accounts — are exactly where the next wave of meaningful innovation is hiding. Danny shares the origin story behind Sail: a claim over a Spanish-language dental receipt that exposed a deeper challenge about regulated industries: most of their software isn't broken by accident, it's broken by indifference to user experience. They dig into why no one had built itemized, embedded HSA/FSA infrastructure before now, what changed technically to make it possible, and why Danny insists AI should never make the hard calls. The conversation closes on a bigger bet: that within three to five years, every digital banking app will help people reimburse tax-advantaged expenses, and what that means for the industry. 

Relationships still matter. In this episode of What's Working in Ag, Tanner sits down with TJ Roemmich, Chief Credit Officer at Conterra Ag Capital and employee number one at the company, to discuss how successful farmers position themselves for growth, how lenders evaluate risk, and what producers can do when finances become challenging. TJ shares insights from more than a decade helping producers navigate farm real estate lending and explains why strong financial records, clear communication, and trusted relationships remain critical in today's agricultural economy. While technology continues to change the way business gets done, agriculture is still a people business where face-to-face conversations and long-term partnerships create opportunities. Topics include: Why relationships continue to be one of the most valuable assets in agriculture How Conterra approaches lending and farm financing Common reasons farmers receive loan denials Practical ways to improve a financing application The importance of accurate financial statements and strong recordkeeping How producers can turn a “no” into a future “yes” Managing working capital and controlling fixed costs Current farmland market trends across different regions Why quality farmland continues to outperform weaker properties Beginning farmer financing opportunities through USDA and FSA programs Advice for young and beginning producers looking to build their operations The role of trusted advisors, CPAs, and financial planning in farm success Whether you're preparing for your first operating note, considering a land purchase, or simply looking to strengthen your farm's financial position, this conversation offers practical advice that can help producers make better business decisions and position themselves for long-term success.

What does it take to turn a crisis into an opportunity for community resilience and meaningful careers? In this episode of The Future of Work podcast, our host Dr. Salvatrice Cummo, talks with Pasadena City College's Dean of Business and Enrollment Management, Mathew Barboza, to discuss the rapid launch and far-reaching impact of the college's Wildland Fire Academy.Sparked by the urgent needs following the Eaton fire, this program trains and empowers students to become skilled wildland firefighters—meeting a critical demand as California's fire season becomes a year-round reality. Tune in as we explore what it takes to adapt education for real-world challenges, hear the inspiring stories of students called to serve, and learn how innovative training is shaping the future workforce and helping rebuild lives and communities in the Altadena and Los Angeles Region.You'll learn:Why short-term, high-impact training programs are critical for workforce readiness and regional recoveryThe importance of timing academies to synchronize with hiring cycles for organizations like U.S. Forest Service and Cal FireWhy up-to-date equipment, strong advisory committees, and close industry alignment matter for effective workforce educationThe role that accessible, responsive higher education can play in both immediate disaster response and building long-term resilienceAbout the guest:Mathew Barboza attended Cal Poly Pomona and earned his bachelor's degree in communication arts and later attended Cal State Fullerton to earn a master's degree in communication arts. After graduating, Barboza started a graphic design career in the advertising and marketing field, working on such global brands as Coca-Cola, Ray Ban, Bebe, Oakley, and BCBG.After 15 years in the advertising industry, Barboza made the leap to education, where he began teaching for Moreno Valley College, within the Riverside Community College system. He taught at MVC for 19 years across several FSA's (faculty service areas) including computer science, computer information systems, graphic design, digital art, and game design. While teaching, he became interested in a management position and was hired as the Dean of CTE (Career and Technical Education) at CMC (Copper Mountain College), located in Joshua Tree, California. Copper Mountain College is one of the smallest California Community Colleges in the state, which allowed him to become deeply involved in many aspects of his CTE Dean role.While at Copper Mountain College, Barboza was approached by CMC's Fire Technology faculty, asking him to support a new WFA (Wildland Fire Academy). As a team, the Fire Technology faculty and Mathew Barboza created and supported CMC's very first WFA, which is still being offered today. After a few years at CMC, Barboza applied to colleges closer to his home and was hired by PCC (Pasadena City College) as the Dean of Business and Enrollment Management in 2022.While working at PCC, Dean Barboza was contacted by his former Fire Technology faculty from CMC, informing him of the fact that PCC is within the Verdugo Corridor, which meant that this Firefighter/Faculty cadre would follow him to PCC if he agreed to start a WFA there. Agreeing to this, the Fire team and Dean Barboza launched PCC's first 8-week WFA academy in 2025.Last year's WFA boasted a full cohort of 40 students, which was limited by the classroom size. This year, PCC's WFA was able to move to a larger classroom, allowing the enrollment of 60 students into cohort #2.Because of our alignment with USDA FS (United States Department of Agriculture Service Forest Service) we were invited to train at MRCA (Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority) located in the Malibu Hills, where PCC currently conducts field training.Engage with us:LinkedIn, Instagram & Facebook: @PasadenaCityCollegeEWDJoin our newsletter for more on this topic: ewdpulse.comVisit: PCC EWD websiteMore from Dean Barboza & The Wildland Fire Academy at PCC:Visit - WIldland Fire Academy CertificationDean Barboza: mbarboza3@pasadena.edu or 626-585-7684LinkedIn - @mathewbarbozaFull-time faculty Lead Captain Frank Brambilla: fbrambila2@pasadena.edu or 626-585-7647Partner with us!

Melissa Ruiz had just worked a long night shift and sat down on the couch for what she thought would be only a moment.

In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Danny Friday, CEO and Founder of Sail, joins Theodora Lau to unpack why the "boring" corners of fintech — HSA and FSA accounts — are exactly where the next wave of meaningful innovation is hiding. Danny shares the origin story behind Sail: a claim over a Spanish-language dental receipt that exposed a deeper challenge about regulated industries: most of their software isn't broken by accident, it's broken by indifference to user experience. They dig into why no one had built itemized, embedded HSA/FSA infrastructure before now, what changed technically to make it possible, and why Danny insists AI should never make the hard calls. The conversation closes on a bigger bet: that within three to five years, every digital banking app will help people reimburse tax-advantaged expenses, and what that means for the industry.

On this episode of Federal Prison Authority Presents: Around the Block, Bruce and Susan go over the last month's government policies and all the behind-the-scenes changes. The first topic they cover is the new laws on identification and what changes have been made. Next, they go over camp placement, and Susan explains which inmates qualify and which do not due to their risk evaluation. To help illustrate their point, Susan shares a personal story about a case and its impact on the changes in Supreme Court rulings. An area of contention covered in this episode is how laws apply retroactively to previous sentencing. It is an information-rich episode, but Bruce and Susan go through each policy in a way that is not overwhelming for the listener. Bruce and Susan.

In this episode, FSA speaks with Liberty County Sheriff Dusty Arnold.
