Money in an HSA doesn't disappear if you don't spend it. It rolls over year-to-year, continuing to grow tax-free. You can invest the funds within the HSA, potentially increasing your savings over time. Plus, once you turn 65, you can use the money for non-medical expenses without penalty, though normal income taxes will apply. This makes an HSA a valuable long-term savings tool.
