Healthcare is something we all need.  When I decided to leave my job, I knew I would not have healthcare so I  take good care of myself and hope for the best.

But I ensure I buy over the counter meds as much as I can to help curb the cost.

The Metropolitan Breakfast Club recently had a speaker, Misty Baker,  who spoke to us about getting ourselves ready as employers and as individuals.
