How an HSA Can Become a Source of Tax-Free Retirement Funds
Health Savings Accounts are often praised as one of the most powerful tax-advantaged savings tools available, but accumulating assets is only half the equation. The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts explore how retirees can strategically use HSA balances, when it makes sense to pay medical expenses from other accounts, and why these accounts can create unexpected tax consequences for heirs. Because with HSAs, sometimes the challenge isn’t building the balance — it’s developing a plan to use it effectively.

The World Cup Effect: Winners Beyond the Pitch
The World Cup has come to the United States, and while the action happens on the field, some of the biggest wins may happen off it. From packed hotels and sold-out restaurants to souvenir shops, rideshares, and local attractions, major sporting events can generate billions in economic activity for host cities. This week, we explore the business side of the beautiful game—who benefits most when the world's largest sporting event comes to town, how cities measure economic impact, and whether the long-term payoff lives up to the hype.
SpaceX, Spectacles, and Sentiment
A SpaceX IPO, a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and developments in the Iran conflict don't seem related at first glance. But all three highlight how today's markets increasingly react to sentiment, spectacle, geopolitics, and cultural events — not just economic data. We'll discuss why investors pay attention to stories that aren't strictly financial, how markets distinguish between noise and meaningful information, and whether headline risk is becoming a permanent feature of investing.
When Should You Spend Your HSA?
Health Savings Accounts are often described as the most tax-advantaged savings vehicle available, but many investors spend years contributing to an HSA without ever developing a plan for how to use it in retirement. This week, we'll explore the strategies retirees should consider when tapping HSA assets, whether medical expenses should be paid from the HSA or another account, and why these accounts can become a tax headache for heirs. Because when it comes to HSAs, building the balance may be the easy part — the real challenge is knowing how and when to spend it.
We discuss financial planning encompassing spending, saving, taxes, investments, insurance, retirement, estate plans, and more.
