BUSINESS CENTS
(BPT) - An employer-sponsored Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a convenient option for saving on health care. You put pre-tax dollars into the account to spend throughout the year on health care related expenses. The downside? Most of your FSA funds expire at the end of the year. If you have an FSA, you have a limited amount of time to spend the cash before potentially losing it.
