I just have a quick question and couldn't find the answer when searching.
At least for my particular situation is there any reason I shouldn't contribute first to max my Roth (5,000), 2nd to my HSA (3,100 in 2012), third to single 401k?
I'm self employed with an S-corp and just joined a HDHP and started an HSA although just individually and not under my S-corp at this point. I realize that's only about $8,100 that I'm putting away, but I'm also trying to get some additional savings set aside for some other things at the moment. Ideally I will put more in - I'm really just asking if there is a reason NOT to want to max out the HSA before I would put ANY amount into my traditional 401k?
I'm healthy and plan to probably just pay any minor health expenses out of pocket for the most part.
Secondly, I can't seem to find a benefit to associating my HSA with my S-corp because the HSA is already triple tax advantaged. Are there any?
