What is the DR answer for this?
I am a student and SAHM. My husband is self-employed with a few different income streams. Our biggest expense other than the mortgage is our health insurance. We pay $1700 a month for a “just OK” health plan through the marketplace. It was only $950 a month last year but this year all the plans went way up. And we had another baby.
Every time I pay that bill it pisses me off. Most of my life I have had employer sponsored plans and I got extremely spoiled with those. I have researched to try to figure out other options for this season of life where neither of us has a “9 to 5” … Eventually one or both of us might go back to the corporate world but right now we like the flexibility. It’s just this darn health insurance bill.
Am I missing something? What do others in similar position do?
