Freelancers, what do you do for health insurance? I’m older than 26 and single, and have saved up enough that I’m feeling comfortable switching to freelance but clueless about the insurance aspect

Yes, good advice. A broker will take the headache out of it for you. Health insurance is shockingly expensive when your employer isn’t subsidizing it. Remember that when agencies try to lowball you. Good luck!

If you're generally healthy, and don't really participate in activity that could end with injury... Just don't get insurance?

Doesn’t take a risky activity to suddenly have a health problem out of the blue. Get insurance.

Working 50-60h weeks on average doesn’t help your dating life though, and who would want to date someone with no family anyway
