Part 8/11:
One of the drawbacks of leaving corporate life includes managing my retirement savings and health insurance independently. While previously benefiting from a corporate health plan, I’ve now opted for a minimal, high-deductible plan that offers essential protection without excess costs.
Additionally, I maximize my Roth IRA contributions annually, which allows me to save effectively for the future. Although I miss the 401k match provided by corporate jobs, the potential for higher earnings in my current role compensates for that loss.
