@Kyle Scofield, by virtue of the fact that you provided more than one-half of your own support in 2015, your parents cannot claim you as a dependent.Keep in mind that support includes amounts spent to provide: Food,Lodging,Clothing,Education,Medical and dental care,Recreation,Transportation, andSimilar necessities.So if you provide more than one-half of these amounts for yourself, you cannot be claimed as a dependent."

I found BP about one year ago while recooperating medically and have learned a lot.

I am not sure of the need to max out the HSA, when I had one it was use it or loose it per year, so I would normally just put in my medical insurance costs and an approximate of my known expenses so I would not be flushing money.Put the rest in a short term bond fund (Vanguard has a few you get a check book for it and it makes about 3% a year), and save for a few years while you learn about real estate investments.
