So what are we doing for health insurance? Is there any service that's disrupting the industry? Every time I try to get information on plans it's a money pit.

It’s a money pit. If you’re young and low maintenance go for a high deductible plan or an HSA plan. On marketplace make sure you’re applying for a subsidy and to get most out of that, make sure you’re lowering your annual income by putting away money in a self directed 401k which is great and will benefit you long run. Solo401k is what it’s called.

Solo 401k you can put more money away than SEP - not all CPAs are familiar with it though.

After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

What is the minimum unit of time you bill? A quarter of an hour?

Seems like even the smallest task requires at least that much attention.
