Skip the black diamond runs and stick to the blue. Freelancers don’t need broken bones. In all seriousness, I hop on my wife’s plan at her job. Or pony up on the marketplace. TBH, just think of it as taking $20 from your day rate.

Do NOT get cheap insurance. Even if you’re super healthy. Accidents happen. Happened to me and because my deductible was so high I’m still paying off a medical bill from last year.

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
