United Healthcare let out a new health insurance specifically based for self-employed individuals, families, and small businesses. Essentially it cuts COBRA costs in half. It's PPO coverage with amazing benefits. I'd love to share some more info if you all are interested.

Tell me more, I may need personal insurance (paid by my employer, since we have no other US employees) and whenever I look at quotes I’m like wtf?

The premium rates depend on age and height/weight ratio. The medical history part is only for qualification purposes and doesn’t affect premiums.

This insurance is based mostly on medical qualification. With this being either your height and weight are in the specified range or you do qualify medically by not having certain pre-existing conditions. This is what makes it “cheaper”, the qualification is quite specific regarding history which means not everyone is available to obtain this coverage.

The co-insurance is also in-network. You have the option to choose your amount and it is valid up until your out-of-pocket max is reached. But don’t be fooled, you do receive many many benefits before you have to satisfy that deductible.

Can you give us a link to more info?

The only real “catch” is medical qualification. Being within an applicable height/weight range, and not having certain pre-existing conditions.

Op, please tell us what insurance this is in the thread and stop asking people to DM you for info. Otherwise your post is just annoying marketing

https://www.ushealthgroup.com/product/ Feel free to take a look. The information stated is very vague which is why I explained the basic layout. And I never asked anyone to DM me.

This does not appear to be health insurance at all. It's a fixed indemnity plan with annual and lifetime maximums. Meaning that if you have an expensive medical problem, you're not protected.

There are different options when it comes to the policy maximum. Please reference.

I’m curious how much other people with similar incomes save/invest a year; I’m a 24M, making 70K a year in a HCOL city.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
