Luther - Like Kaleb said, I would be certain that you have a source of medical insurance and retirement. You are into fairly high risk activity, so even a disability policy would be a good idea. Get back to me if you think you are going to need it. I fought with my disability company for three years prior to a settlement. There are some things you will need to know. SSD is pretty poor also. Had I not had a private pension [very safe - all funds already in the bank for my full lifetime pension] I would be in bad shape now. I didn't worry too much about healthcare when I was younger, now we would be spending about $1,200 - $2,000/month for MD's, cardiac procedures and Rx if I didn't have very good insurance. We will have out of pocket of about $1,500 this year instead. If you can make huge $$$ doing home repair and can put enough away for retirement and will not ever get sick or injured, then insurance won't matter too much. Seems to me you said you were single. You could always do what I did and marry someone who has great family insurance through her work. BillR
