The Health Savings Account is what is known as a tax unicorn, combining some of the key tax benefits of both tax deductible and tax deferred accounts, so if your employer offers an HSA as part of your benefits package you should strongly consider it. Donna and Nathan discuss how to use the HSA to its full benefits. Also, on our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History we discuss one of the earliest and most consequential financial bubbles of all time, The South Sea Bubble.
