Just dropped a new video that examines a few options that MIGHT help you save on healthcare next year. I compare a few popular health sharing programs - @iheartchm, @SamaritanMin, and @weshare_by_uhsm - and see how they stack up against the cheapest plans on the Marketplace.
I'm not doing this as an expert giving professional advice, but as someone in the same boat sharing their thought process. If you're self-employed and dealing with this too, the video might be helpful. And I'd love to hear what you're thinking about doing in the comments.

How much money do you actually need?
Nobody starts a business so they can be worse off than they were at their full-time job, make themselves sick from stress, and live project to project with little to no safety net, one surprise expense away from total financial ruin.
I created a SALARY REPLACEMENT CALCULATOR to help you estimate what it’ll take to truly replace your full-time income:
✓ Factor in taxes &health insurance
✓ Estimate business expenses
✓ Set target hourly rates
✓ Plan your savings runway before you make the leap

The PA Annual Report is due 9/30. Some folks are trying to capitalize on the confusion and fear of the looming deadline. One company wants to charge you $168 to file your report. I'll show you how to do it for free.
