nkent+FollowDallas music scene rocked by massive insurance hikeA 445% jump in health insurance premiums could hit Dallas’ creative community hard if ACA subsidies expire this year.

It’s not just musicians: anyone in the gig economy could face impossible choices between healthcare and daily living. While grassroots programs like Creatives Care offer some relief, they can’t fill the gap if Congress doesn’t act. How would a spike like this change your spending—or your support for local arts? #Business #MakeMoney #Dallas00Share

Willie Morales+FollowShould You Tap Your 401(k) for Credit Card Debt?Thinking about raiding your 401(k) to pay off credit card bills? Hold up! Most folks can’t use a 401(k) hardship withdrawal just for credit card debt—the IRS saves that for big emergencies like medical bills or avoiding eviction. Even if you could, you’d face taxes and penalties, and your retirement savings would take a hit. Instead, check out options like debt consolidation or talking to a credit counselor. Your future self will thank you! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks00Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowWhy Your 401(k) Might Be a 'Money Jail'Ever feel like your 401(k) is a locked box you can’t touch until you’re old? Some early-retirement pros call it “money jail” because you get hit with penalties if you dip in before 59. If you dream of quitting work in your 40s, it pays to mix things up: use your 401(k) for the match, but stash extra cash in things like real estate or regular investment accounts you can tap any time. Don’t let your money get stuck! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyLifehacks00Share
