I currently work in healthcare and obtaining a degree in graphic design (art has always bee my first love.)

Looking to raise rent in November to cover expenses) and a SF home with a positive cash flow (just purchased in July, tenants to move in next week).I'm in the healthcare field, however, I believe in diversifying income.

I would recommend finding one of the Certified Applicant Counselors in your region to help you navigate the healthcare exchange process/options.Wishing you both the best!

I have a steady career in the public sector and make a decent income, and my wife owns an online fitness business after leaving healthcare a couple of years ago. 

There was another thread about this started a few weeks ago where I posted as initially being in favor of the shutdown at that time because too much was unknown and we needed to prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. 

From an economic standpoint there is a lot of development going on there with Amazon, the Tiverton Casino, Healthcare and the Development of a large shopping complex. 

No, not really unfortunately.I would suggest:- Max 401k, both you and wife- Research options for health savings or flex savings for healthcare- You have a nice photo of you with young children: open a college savings fund for children with pretax funds (research 529 savings)- Sell any losing stocks you own and take the loss to offset income- Stash more cash into the self-employment SEP retirement fund (I imagine you are selling your own company?)

Ron, I work in healthcare and do some work in the Doylestown area.

Select a brokerage that permits part time, offers flexible training and office support hours, lead generation (aside from sitting’deck duty’ to capture walk-ins) a mentor, and a competitive commission split, low fees as werr as other ‘perks’ such as stock & health care.  

Pittsburgh has things like Uber, Google, healthcare....
