60. I returned to the workforce as a 1099 employee

Only now I'm paid 20% less than what I was making in 2007-2008 as a regular W2 payroll worker, plus I get to pay 15% more income tax and guess what? No health coverage, vacation, sick/holiday pay... Nada. I cannot train in my favorite sport/hobby (MMA) for fear of injury and the medical costs included.

Oh yeah, it's not even full time.

I still can't pay my bills, but at least I get to live the illusion that life has gotten better <insert the "I'm happy to just finally be working again" part here>.
