Btw I think health insurance is the biggest problem here, in the US.
As long as the ACA exists, health insurance is available. It's just a cost of being self employed.
On the other hand, it's even easier if you have a spouse that works a stable job. I know a few people (including me) that have spouses that work a low paying government job just for the insurance so they can be more aggressive about their career or start a business. Since I've been married, I've jumped back and forth between working salaried and contracting with abandon.
