Strategy to max out HSA for retirment
I've had an HSA for some time but haven't put much beyond the basics into it. I'm leaning towards fully funding my HSA with the additional money that I was previously putting in my 401k beyond the minimum to get my employer's match. Basically, I see many advantages to invest through my HSA rather than my 401k.

Here's my question: I still want to use my HSA for medical expenses but I don't want those expenses to take away from my retirement. Is there a strategy out there that you've seen that will accomplish this? I've thought about doing something like making an additional contribution to an IRA or Roth IRA every time I use my HSA for a medical expense. For example, if I pay $90 towards a doctor's appointment, I would make a one-time $90 contribution to another retirement account so that my overall retirement investment hasn't been affected. Is that weird? Is there a better strategy for doing this?
