OWH's Topic That Will Never Die XXIII

Morning! 31 but clear and no rain in sight.

Off to watch Thomas the Tank Engine vids with the Tiny Terror. After we watched on Wednesday, he lined up his truck, two race cars, and two school buses, all in a row, front to back, and said “They’re helping each other!” (the engines are always helping push each other back on the rails etc.) Pretty good considering that he didn’t start talking until four or so months ago.
 
Just had my yearly biometric screening, WF deposits $$ into our hsa account if we have one done. Time to eat breakfast!
Our regular insurance gives up to $200 on a prepaid Visa for certain things like flu shot, physical, etc. Each person covered gets $50 for each question. I have a supplemental accident/cancer policy that pays$75 for a physical. We always use that stuff for vacation spending money. The accident is helpful if you get hurt. When I broke my finger a few years ago I got $1,600 from it.

We get something like $800-1000 (each), into our HSA account each year for doing different things. I've just completed my events - biometric screening, yearly events, and completing weekly challenges. There are other things you can choose from, but the weekly challenge one is so dumb, you have to participate in three different things and check in 4 times weekly - so I chose eating more at home, eating healthier, and getting 5000 steps (I get more than that each day), but it's so funny that you will get money just for simply logging in and saying yep, I ate "healthy" today. It's easy stuff to complete though so that we have a nice amount in our account if anything happens or heck just need it for anything (yearly eye appt, etc.)

My employer incentivizes the bronze and silver options by offering $2000 or $1000 match into HSAs. These amounts are in 4 payments, weighted towards the end of the year (April, July, November, December). I'm putting the max into my HSA every year (net the employer match). Of course, last year, we spent more than the max contribution...

I guess if you can't afford it, but why wouldn't you go for the max match?!
 
I need to do a few things around the house this weekend, just gotta find the motivation😂

I do. Max every year, calculating for the employer contribution. Payroll says the max amount is the max amount, from employees alone or from employees + employer.
