They also explore an often-overlooked strategy involving saving receipts for qualified medical expenses and how it may provide additional flexibility under current IRS rules. With different perspectives on when to spend versus invest, Tim and Tyler break down the tradeoffs and explain why the right approach depends on your financial circumstances, priorities, and goals.
