ue to a long term and very expensive medication I am on, the HSA route will not work in my situation


I don’t understand why medical bills would make an HSA unattractive. You should pay medical bills out of pocket and let your HSA grow tax free. Maybe you mean you have a lower deductible plan and can’t qualify for HSA?

Should also do backdoor Roth contributions using the traditional IRA.

Then do a non-qualified brokerage. Both of the other two are top priorities though. Basically no brainer if I’m understanding your situation.

I'm on a monthly medication that would cost me $20K if I paid it out of pocket. My current health insurance plan pays 100% of the cost. So why would I give that up to start a HSA and also deal with the enormous cost of paying for this medication?
