We all know the Roth IRA is a powerful tool for setting our kids up financially, especially when they’re earning early and you can stash away a few thousand dollars for decades of tax-free growth. But what happens when your child hits that in-between stage—say, age 19 to 25—still on your health insurance but no longer a tax dependent? 

That’s where the HSA strategy kicks in, offering a surprisingly overlooked second phase of long-term wealth building. In this episode, we explore how to leverage this window to give your child a tax-free healthcare fund that could quietly grow into hundreds of thousands by retirement.
