I'm actually a single woman, and don't have any insurance right now. (I pay out of pocket for my docs and
meds--the costs are insane!) To boot, living in NYC is quite expensive!At 38, I do feel like I have work left in me (a lot), especially as I'm a very creative person. I don't want to close that chapter just yet.
Thanks again.
