He expands on other workplace benefits like 401(k) matches, HSAs with their triple tax advantage, and employer-provided perks that can help families save money and build long-term wealth.

Quotes to ponder:
“Like the Flexible Spending Arrangement (or Account), it is essentially a separate account where you can save pre-tax money for use on qualified expenses.”
“Remember that an FSA is a ‘use it or lose it’ program.”
“Your HSA contributions are tax-deductible and your investments grow tax-free. And you can withdraw your money, tax-free at any time as long as you’re using the funds for qualified medical expenses.”
