Backstory: my wife runs a non profit organization - I've been fully supporting her and engrossing myself in this life, but to get to where the organization needs to go and can go, I need to quit my 9-5 to make it happen.
I have decent employment prospects on a part time or consulting basis and I'm great at hustling so I don't really have any concerns about making up the money. Where I DO have concern is with health insurance.
My current employer has decent/not great insurance - meaning 20% copays, but my monthly rates aren't too bad. The kicker here is my wife has a pre-existing condition. I know nothing about self employed health insurance + preexisting conditions beyond what is heard in the news.
Does anyone have any experience in this area? Should I just give up my dreams now? Is it only possible if I can make $$$$$$ self-employed?
