More Millennials Than Ever Are Using HSAs
Lively · April 24, 2018 · 1 min read
Millennials are often chastised for their spending and savings habits. They love their morning coffee but aren’t saving enough money for their future. You might not know, they love HSAs as much as they love their morning frappuccinos.
Millennial HSA Growth
In a study of 1.3 million employees from 540 large employers, HSA participation among millennials has skyrocketed by 76% in 2018. This was a significant increase from the 40% increase in 2017.
Millennial HSA contributions also increased by 15% for family plans ($2,305) and 13% for individual plans ($1,139). Please note the IRS sets annual contribution limits, but millennials still have lots of room to increase their yearly contributions to save more for their health.

One of the many reasons HSA accounts grew to over 22 million in 2017.
