HuskerFan2 Do you even CB bro?

Yep.

And you can even change your mind about it, submit the billing for the medical expenses, and get reimbursed from your HSA.

If you want to invest through your HSA for the long term, then do it. Don’t pay for current medical expenses with it. Do

Can you just pay your standard medical bills out of your savings accounts?

Sounds like I'm overthinking/over complicating it

How about for small things that your budget can afford, you pay out of pocket.

I do the opposite. I don't want to have to keep track of $5 or $25 charges so

Man that’s a lot of work to keep track of medical receipts for 30+ years and then still have to pay tax on

Biggest uncontrollable costs in retirement is medical costs. You don't need to

If I have surgery when I’m 30 and can pay for it out of pocket, I’d need to keep that receipt for ~30 years if I wanted

What you are building up your retirement accounts for? I'm doing it to spend

Alternative is to take the reimbursement before you hit 65 and either spend it or convert it into a ROTH.

Late in the game, I just started doing this in 2018.

In addition to the above many HSA providers let you invest your contributions.
