If you've been putting off choosing your coverage for the upcoming year during this open enrollment season, no one would blame you. Workers often find themselves choosing an insurance plan from a menu of complicated and pricey options. If you've been procrastinating during open enrollment, here are three simple steps to just get it done. Know your acronymsYour workplace will likely present you with a list of insurance plans to choose from, which generally fall into one of two categories: high-deductible health plans and co-pay plans. Co-pay plans Unlike high-deductible plans, co-pay plans come with pre-determined costs that you'll pay for things like office visits, prescription drugs and medical procedures.

Health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts are both tax-advantaged financial tools that can help you save money on your medical expenses. Some FSA funds may roll over into the new year, but it depends on your plan sponsor, according to FSAStore. If you invest your HSA funds, the earnings are also tax-free, giving HSAs a triple tax advantage. "Your HSA custodian doesn't micromanage your HSA expenses like they will your FSA," Rhinehart says. She says it's a good idea to keep receipts when you use your HSA funds just in case you're ever audited.

Buying a used car is a risk but gap coverage and a warranty make me feel better about that risk. When I started looking for a used car, I weighed everything I wanted in a car, and the biggest factor in my decision was cost. But I also know that getting a used car is one of the best choices I can make for the environment. Tax credits for used electric cars are worth up to $4,000The tax credits offered for electric cars have varied over the years, but the most recent big change came in August 2022, and it came with both upsides and downsides. Most of the tax credits for new electric cars only apply to cars assembled in the US.

Alexander Spatari | Moment | Getty ImagesThe following is an excerpt from "This week, your wallet," a weekly audio show on Twitter produced by CNBC's Personal Finance team. Here are some insights and ways to save on your trip, shared during a recent conversation with Griscavage, CNBC airline reporter Leslie Josephs and CNBC associate personal finance editor Ken Kiesnoski about summer travel.
