Health Savings Accounts are often misunderstood or completely overlooked when people choose their health plans. In this episode, we sit down with Tatia Wesley from FSB Insurance to fully explain what an HSA is, who it is designed for, and why it can be such a smart option within the right healthcare plan. We walk through how HSAs work day to day, how they can help cover medical expenses, and why they offer more flexibility than many people realize. Then we get into what really sets an HSA apart. When used correctly, it is the only investment account where your contributions, growth, and qualified withdrawals can all be tax free. If you have ever wondered whether an HSA is worth it or suspected you might be sleeping on a powerful benefit, this episode will change the way you think about your health plan. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html

Ever feel like no matter what you do, you’re somehow still behind? Like there’s an invisible checklist you’re supposed to be following and everyone else got the memo except you? The pressure to own a home, save more, be further in your career, or hit certain life milestones can quietly create stress and shame, especially when those “shoulds” don’t line up with your real life. Today we talk honestly about the financial “shoulds” society places on us, why they can lead to poor decisions, and how redefining success can bring clarity, confidence, and peace. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html

The holiday season brings out the best in people. Everywhere you look there are toy drives, coat drives, Giving Tuesday posts, and countless opportunities to give back. But it is also the time of year when a lot of well-meaning generosity turns into confusion. What actually counts as a charitable donation? What does the IRS allow you to deduct? And how do you give in a way that truly makes an impact without creating a surprise at tax time? In this episode, we sit down with Matt Businaro, CPA and Chief Financial Officer of Farmers State Bank, to talk through how to give thoughtfully, what qualifies for a deduction, and the common mistakes people make during the biggest giving season of the year. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html

There is a lot of talk online about the idea of a 50 year mortgage. Nothing official has been announced and for now it is all just hearsay. But if it ever becomes reality, it could change the way families buy homes and the way communities grow. In this episode, we break down what a 50 year mortgage might look like, how it compares to a 30 year loan, the real cost hidden inside the monthly payment, and why it could leave buyers with very little equity for a long time. For what it is worth, we share our honest opinion on whether this would help or hurt homebuyers in the long run, and what you can do to protect yourself no matter what the future of lending looks like. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html
