If you have an HSA, then this post is for you!

If you have an HSA, then this post is for you!

⭐️ The 2024 HSA Contribution Limits have been released by the IRS, and they are significant! These limits set by the IRS specify the maximum amount accountholders are permitted to contribute each year to their health savings account.

⭐️ In 2024, those with individual HSAs can contribute up to $4,150, which is up $300 from the $3,850 limit in 2023. For those holding family accounts, 2024 contributions are maxed at $8,300, which is up $550 from the 2023 limit of $7,750.

⭐️ The catch-up contribution limit for those 55 and older remains at $1,000 for 2024.

⭐️ If you have any questions about these limits, the benefits of an HSA, or how to set one up, Jackie Makes Cents is here for you. This is my favorite retirement account since it has the triple-tax advantage, and also has the flexibility of being used anytime between now and retirement if you have significant, unexpected out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! This is a time to rela

Happy Memorial Day weekend! This is a time to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family, though it is also a time to remember and honor the service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  Let us take a moment to reflect on the lives of those who have fallen, and to thank veterans and those on active duty for their service. We are grateful for their courage and sacrifice, and we will never forget their contributions to securing and defending freedom.  Have a safe and fun weekend, and remember to thank a veteran today and every day! #memorialday #memorialdayweekend #veterans #freedom #jackiemakescents

can’t believe it’s already the end of January

can’t believe it’s already the end of January - I feel like it was just New Years!

A friendly reminder at month-end, especially after a year of rising costs: are there any subscriptions or recurring charges you can pause, cancel, or reduce?

Look over your January statement and check for recurring charges.

When reviewing these charges, ask yourself these questions:
1. When was the last time I used this item or service?
2. Do I feel like it is providing value in my life?
3. Is there a way for me to reduce the monthly price? For example, could you share a family plan with someone and split the cost?
4. If not, are there any previous or upcoming price increases I should know about?
5. If I want to cancel, how much would it cost me to sign up again down the road if I change my mind?

You may actually use and get value from your all of your subscriptions, but it never hurts to check where your money is going. And now is a great time to check, since we are only one month into 2023!

Who doesn’t wanna fly a 737?! ✈️

Happy (early) birthday to my other half! As a private pilot with a full-time corporate job, @miamiapproach usually gets to fly on small aircrafts when his schedule and budget allows. But that doesn’t stop his obsession with aviation- he knows the Cirrus SR-22 like the back of his hand! For his birthday this year, we went to Tampa, FL to try out a Boeing 737 simulator. Let me tell you, he was like a kid in a candy shop!

While I believe in saving money, budgeting, and retiring early, I also believe in pursing your passions. Every year, I ensure I build into my budget an experience or thoughtful present for my loved ones, because seeing them happy makes me happy.

Moral of the story: Don’t become so focused on saving dough that you end up forgetting to live your life. Make room in your budget for fun stuff like go-karts, banana splits, and the occasional flight simulator 😅 ✈️ 👌🏼
