24K is a magic number. You qualify for an enhanced silver ACA policy with very low premiums, deductibles and copays. I do own a home and rental property, and pay property taxes annually. I did my first year at a 24K annual income with a slight assist from after-tax savings after being employed for 30+ years. Being 55 in San Diego, and getting an electronics engineering position ain't happening right now.
