This year was MUCH better than last year, especially as far as market growth. Cash is a bit down, but we did well saving for retirement. The interest on our debts is so low we haven't paid any extra and probably won't.
Hoping to save this year for some home projects again, and just try to keep our expenses down so we can build up more cash. I feel like we have been riding too close to the line and it's stressing me out.
Hoping this is the year we break $100k in retirement.

Are you running all of your medical expenses through your HSA?
I ask because I’ve seen posts from others who seem to think of HSA as a retirement savings plan.
Depending on your tax bracket, you can lower medical expenses 10-25% by depositing into your HSA and paying medical from there.
I know there is a strategy to pay medical out of pocket and deduct when you file - my expenses have never been high enough to do that.
But I wondered about your usage,
No need to answer…

We deposit into the HSA and then pull it back out to pay all our medical bills so we at least get the tax break.
