Over the last 6 years, I've been living this kind of life, half of which was intentional and the other half a work of circumstances. I'd work for like 3 or 4 months and make as much as I can from that job and live frugally, then live off the savings for 3 or 4 months and when about broke look for another odd job.

- rufus_foreman 5y agoDoesn't the ACA solve this? I'm looking at retiring early, it looks like in my state, if I have the right amount of investment income, which I can certainly arrange, I would pay $0 in premiums for a silver plan. It looks like my maximum out of pocket would be around $8K a year which is totally doable. What am I missing?
