660k net worth at mid - late 30s still feel insecure due to no access to affordable Health Insurance. Health is ok, some dental issues. But, can we really call this a free country if one health issue can bring you on road? What are the options for health insurance if you try a new job and get fired?

You can always do COBRA from your old job or get on one of the exchanges. Depending on your situation you can also apply for Medicaid through you local assistance office.

Lol. The fact that you have 660k net worth and are still complaining is why we can call this a free country.

Take a trip, open your mind.

Marketplace is income based that is your best bet otherwise pay full coverage cost on COBRA which will mean you pay your prior employee cost plus employer side cost probably $1,000month or so. Goodluck on next opportunities and agree USA needs better insurance options.

Also, switching plans if you use insurance really messes up your deductive and out of pocket coverage.

I’m about to go independent and reached out to an insurance broker and the quote he gave me for my husband and myself was ~$1k/mo which is still ouch! but less than I was anticipating. But there are so many factors that go into determining best rate so its hard to estimate but definitely worth looking into. I feel like we are often pressured into staying in corporate jobs bc of health insurance and its really frustrating!

How many months you planning on being unemployed?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

I am currently unemployed (but looking) an opportunity to consult has potentially fallen into my lap. Before I shut it down for a lack of experience, I want to know if it's something that I can even do. It's a very very small company, not even 3 FTE. But they are looking for someone to come in, create a Handbook(I can do that), provide benefits, etc.

Is that difficult to implement? I can't imagine it being so, but I don't want to set myself up to fail.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
