Prof. Geisler wins financial planning article award

The Montgomery-Warschauer Award honors the paper published in the Journal of Financial Planning that provided the most outstanding contribution to the betterment of the profession in the preceding year. The article provides the tax-efficient rank ordering for contributing to Health Savings Accounts (HSA), retirement accounts, and 529 higher education accounts, and for paying debts. Geisler shows that the tax savings on many employees’ contributions to an HSA increases wealth by more than an employer match on the same employees’ 401(k) contributions. https://www.onefpa.org/journal/Pages/JAN16-Could-a-Health-Savings-Account-Be-Better-than-an-Employer-Matched-401(k).aspx
