The other night at a retro Guy Fawkes bonfire bash down in college town, we went around asking students a variety of miscellaneous questions intended to gauge the level of their life-smarts. This is what we found. (Note- these are fictional interviews)
Dave, 26, physics: "Should? Well, you should exercise like every day. Do I? No. See this gut? Yeah." Angela, 23, humanities: "I think the official recommendation is 5 days a week. I try to do that, but sometimes I end up eating ice cream instead. You know, if boys just had more realistic expectations, we wouldn't have to worry about looking good and we wouldn't get so hurt when they suddenly dump us and then we wouldn't eat ice cream. Idiots."
Pack up foods you loved as a kid (did someone say Squeeze-its and Twinkies?), grab a blanket, some friends, and head outdoors. Enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and the craze that will overcome you when that candy starts pouring out.
Every once in a while we may run into a self-employed individual who runs a business that is so successful that they can afford to kick their feet up and watch the money pour in, but recognize that this is not the norm. The large majority of self-employed people have to show a huge display of discipline to ensure they are making the best use of their time and that all of their work is being done. And if they decide to relax and take it easy for a day, they'll most likely see their income suffer as a result.
Jack, 22, physical therapy: "Me." Colbin, 24, mathematics: "Not me."
Not only will you have to do a large majority of the necessary work yourself, but the collaboration of fellow employees will be unavailable to you. Furthermore, while you can ask friends and family for advice about which direction you want to take your business, there will be no one who knows as much about your company as you, which makes you solely responsible for the decisions you make regarding the company's future. This can be a good arrangement if you enjoy the absence of dissenting opinions, but you better make sure you know what you're doing.
One of the most frightening aspects of self-employment is the fact that you must take care of your own health care arrangements. While purchasing your own health insurance is not always as terrible as you might think, it will take some work.
Although there are affordable health care options available for purchase; you may also consider coverage through your spouse's plan, joining a trade group for self-employment, or applying for governmental aid.
It is important for students and other young workers to get their own insurance by the time they are 26. If you are a student there are some great sources for you to find affordable health insurance. If you are just working, there are just as many opportunities for you too. So start looking around and make sure you are buying health insurance that is right for you!
