Maryland is working on a bill that will allow you to use your flexible spending account (i.e., pre-tax dollars) for things like gym memberships and sports equipment. I am not sure I agree with the sports equipment since I could see a whole arbitrage opportunity of buying equipment with pre-tax dollars and then selling it on eBay. But, I can see things like gym membership or even fees for a race qualifying.
I don’t have an opinion on the bill, but the concept sounds intriguing and sends the right message.
