I'm going to be honest with you. My family is great about signing up for a flexible spending account every year. My husband and I carefully estimate how much we think we will spend during the year, knowing that it is a no brainer to put aside money tax-free for our health care expenses.
Then we forget to use it.
Okay, we don't totally forget about it. I remember to pay with my FSA card at the doctor's office and when I pick up a prescription. But I forget that I can use my FSA card for the health care essentials we use every single day.
This year, I'm determined to make the most of my FSA and I've found a super easy way to do it with FSAstore.com.
What is an FSA?
If you haven't set up an FSA through your employer, you should! An FSA is a spending account that you get from your employer which allows you to put aside money tax-free that you then use to save on qualified health care costs.
There are just two things you need to remember: you have to use all of your money within the deadline set by your account (generally one year), and you have to use it for FSA-eligible items.
That's where I always got hung up. I was never sure what is FSA-eligible, so I just err on the side of caution and don't use my account. But FSAstore.com changes all of that.
