Just spent $140 at REI on Superfeet Green


Dec 20, 2016, 12:51 PM

trying to spend my FSA money before it expires. Who else was trying to get rid of some funds? Did you have any luck? I may go to jail for tax evasion and insurance fraud or something, but it was totally worth it.

I'm wondering if my 401k through the contractor counts as being "covered by a retirement plan at work". If so, this will be the last year I can take that deduction according to this (was unemployed for 4months so my AGI should allow for at least a partial deduction):

No luck, really. I'm getting an eye exam Thursday, and figure I'll try and spend the rest on some ridiculously priced retail prescription Costa sunglasses or something that I'll never wear.

Everything I want to get requires a prescription...back pain meds, carpal tunnel arms support..you know STUFF I MIGHT USE.

LOL at FSAs.

No friend, my insurance is so crappy that I have an HSA.

On the upside, no annual expiration.

On the downside, anything short of a triple bypass in a calendar year, and I don't meet my family deductible.

I had no choice last year, for whatever reason. The HSA wasn't offered. It was either that or a $200/month PPO.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

HSA, as I understand it, only becomes an option when you


Dec 20, 2016, 1:05 PM

have a high deductible (aka shiddy) insurance plan.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I'm not sure why I couldn't get it last year.


Dec 20, 2016, 1:06 PM

It may have had something to do with leaving/returning. I dunno. I have an HSA starting 1/1/17.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

To me, HSA's are like food stamps.


Dec 20, 2016, 1:08 PM

If you don't qualify, consider it a positive.

Our acquisition by supermegacorp should be finalized in January, so I'm looking forward to moving to a $600 annual family premium from my current $5k one. My monthly contributions decrease by half too.

It was nice when we had our first child


Dec 20, 2016, 1:10 PM

Although getting the dolts to understand what a HSA is and how we don't have a copay is incredibly ridiculous. I'm hoping by the time I retire I'll have enough cash in it to last till I get close to death's doormat.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Eff dat noise


Dec 20, 2016, 1:08 PM [ in reply to Agreed at LOL ]

Our PPO was more than that. Company gives us $2500 per year to go with the HSA.

PER YEAR.
