The illusion of safety just cost me $626/month...
Got some news today.
My health insurance through my day job is going from $0 to $626 per month.
Allegedly my employer spent over $1 million in the last 12 months on Ozempic prescriptions alone.
So now I’m eating that cost.
This is the “safety” that was preached to me my entire life.
“Business is risky”
Get a steady paycheck with benefits.
They taught us that through school.
My parents told me the same.
There is security in a W2.
Except there’s no security at all when someone else controls your income.
And your insurance.
And your time.
$626 a month is $7,512 a year.
It’s a pay cut I have no say in… and it isn’t based on my performance.
The day job feels safe because it’s familiar.
What’s actually safe is building skills that make you money in any environment. Any economy. Any situation.
Build the skills. As Travis says “have a little courage and a little creativity”
That combination alone is your security.
Not hoping if you’re a good boy or girl your employer will take care of you.
I’m still at my job. For now.
But my exit is right around the corner.
Even if you don’t have a traditional 9-5 the same principle applies. Don’t get comfortable with any ONE source of income or any ONE person controlling your money.
I’m done pretending this is the safe choice.
The only real safety is being able to generate income on your own terms.
Everything else is just an illusion.
