Even with good, high-deductible health care coverage, out-of-pocket medical expenses can be costly. To help individuals pay for these medical expenses, the federal government established a law allowing for a special tax savings account called a Health Savings Account (HSA).
What is a Health Savings Account?
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a type of savings account into which you deposit money to save for future medical expenses. There are certain advantages to putting money into these accounts, including favorable tax treatment.
Who Can Have an HSA?
Any adult can contribute to an HSA if they:
Consult your tax professional for more detailed information about HSAs
Security - Your high deductible insurance and HSA protect you against high or unexpected medical bills.
Affordability - You should be able to lower your health insurance premiums by switching to health insurance coverage with a higher deductible.
Flexibility - You can use the funds in your account to pay for current medical expenses, including expenses that your insurance may not cover, or save the money in your account for future needs, such as:
Savings - You can save the money in your account for future medical expenses and grow your account through investment earnings.
Control - You make all the decisions about:
Portability - Accounts are completely portable, meaning you can keep your HSA even if you:
Ownership - Funds remain in the account from year to year, just like an IRA.
There are no "use it or lose it" rules for HSAs.
Tax Savings - An HSA provides you triple tax savings:
The Department of the Treasury web site has detailed information about Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) along with a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions. Visit Department of the Treasury for more details about HSAs.

If you want to save money so you can enjoy retirement without risk, a Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a safe means to do so. Dividends are calculated from the date-of-deposit to the date-of-withdrawal; compounded daily; credited monthly; and there is no minimum balance required to earn dividends.
With at least $1,000, you can open an IRA Term Share Certificate and maximize the dividends on your retirement funds safely.
1Substantial penalty for early withdrawal.
If you are contemplating starting to save for retirement, then wait no longer. A Roth IRA is a safe and reliable retirement account. Plus, Roth IRAs generally offer better tax savings and more flexibility to make withdrawals than Traditional IRAs. Unlike a Traditional IRA, you cannot deduct contributions to a Roth IRA. But, if you satisfy the requirements, qualified distributions (defined in Publication 590) are tax free.
Consult your tax professional for more detailed information about Roth IRAs.

At CFE, we encourage young members to develop a lifelong habit of saving for their future. We’ve made it fun and rewarding with our Savings Incentive Program. By participating in the program, your child can earn up to $400 each year in Fun Bucks!1
Here’s how it works:
First, open a regular Share Savings account for a child. The account can be opened with as little as $5 and earns our regular Share Savings dividend rate. Deposits and withdrawals may be made just like a regular Share Savings account.
Next, to enroll in the Saving Incentive program, establish a Fun Savings account for the child. The Fun Savings account is where you or the child will deposit money that is intended for long-term savings.
As a reward for leaving the money in savings, the Fun Savings account will earn “Fun Bucks”. When $10 or more is deposited into your child’s Fun Savings account each quarter, CFE will send your child a Fun Buck worth 5% of the total amount of deposits up to $100 per quarter or $400 per year. The child can bring the Fun Buck to any CFE branch or they can mail in the Fun Buck for deposit to their Fun Bucks account.
Fun Bucks really grow as the years go by. As long as no withdrawals are made from their Fun Savings Account during the time they are qualified for a particular youth group (i.e. Explorers: through age 11; Adventurers: through age 14; Innovators: through age 17), the amount earned in Fun Bucks deposits is theirs to keep!
1Fun Bucks are paid quarterly and the rate is 5% on deposits of $10 or more with an APY (Annual Percentage Yield) of 5.09%. Maximum Fun Bucks earnings per quarter may not exceed $100. Funds awarded and deposited into the Fun Bucks Account are contingent with certain restrictions that apply. If young memberS withdraw funds from their Fun Savings Account they forfeit any Fun Bucks earned. Youth members may “cash-in” their Fun Bucks once they graduate to the next youth account level based on age (i.e. Explorers: through age 11; Adventurers: through age 14; Innovators: through age 17). Or young members have the option of keeping their fun bucks in the Fun Savings Account as they transition into their next youth account level. There is no penalty for making withdrawals from the regular youth savings account.
All youth accounts offer the ability to open a Savings Builder Share Certificate, a 6 month certificate with automatic renewal. With as little as $5, you can begin building your child's savings. With the capability to add funds to it at any time, you can build it however and whenever you wish. It earns a higher dividend rate than a regular savings account. Plus, as it grows to a higher balance, the rate climbs, too. The more your child saves the more money he/she can earn.
Save for your child's education at whatever stage in his or her life and enjoy tax-free withdrawals on qualified education expenses. From elementary school to any college or trade school, CFE's Coverdell Education Savings is a flexible and a safe choice.
