Welcome back to CoastFI Couple! In today’s episode, we’re tackling a powerful (but often overlooked) financial tool: the Health Savings Account (HSA). Did you know that a whopping 92% of people using HSAs are leaving free money on the table? That’s a ton of untapped potential just waiting to be unlocked! Join hosts Yana and Matt as they break down how to fully take advantage of these accounts to supercharge both your healthcare spending and retirement savings.
We’ll dive into the triple tax advantages of HSAs, explain how they stack up against Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and share some savvy strategies for maximizing your HSA contributions. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or you're guiding adult children, this episode is packed with actionable tips for everyone! We’ll also talk about the perks of paying out-of-pocket to let your HSA grow tax-free, the importance of logging medical expenses, and why tracking your receipts is key to unlocking the full potential of your HSA.
So, buckle up and get ready for a fun, informative ride toward financial independence with the CoastFI Couple!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
