beachy200We’re in the midst of an extended Spring Break vacation, so posting will be light for the next two weeks. I have some pre-written content scheduled, but the comment moderation may be delayed.

I also updated the “About Me” and “My Money” pages, as part of a greater overall plan to clean up the site and make it easier to navigate past content. I think the last time I did this was 2013. Thanks to those that cared enough to ask about it, and thank you even more for your patience. I have grand plans, but recently other priorities have won out.

    Spending money on experiences is proved to be better than on stuff.

    Have a great vacation!

    Hey Jonathan,
    You mention that you and your wife both work half-time. Are you able to get health insurance through your employer as a half-time employee? If not, what do you do? I work for the state and we have to work a minimum of 30hrs/week to qualify for benefits.

      We do get health insurance through one of our jobs, but it is taken out of of total compensation, so it’s not like it’s “free” on top of 50% of previous salary.

      To clarify, we basically negotiated a unique deal, which is often what happens when you want to do something unconventional. One benefit is that employer-provided health insurance is not taxable income. We also get the group-plan negotiated rate. Before ACA, the other benefit would be that we didn’t have to worry about pre-existing conditions.

      Some industries just offer more opportunities to find part-time arrangements. For example, in healthcare many people work different amounts of hours and shift times. Sometimes you have to make it gradual – first remote work and then ask for a custom arrangement. Once you move to a per-work unit (did you get X done?) instead of an hourly-unit (how long did you stay in the office?), then it’s easier to make the shift. Finally, if you work for yourself, then it’s all results-based and not time-based.
