That "Obama phone" terminology is a right wing pejorative. It was actually begun back in the Reagan era.........I do however draw the line though on applying for the free Obama phone service I could qualify for,.........
Im starting to get anxious...
Only have $18k as an emergency fund, considering dumping majority of that on vtsax also but also know that can be risky...
total $1.8mil

The part that scares me is wasting money on health insurance!!
Like I said, dont have a plan & I know ill be fine whatever happens but really dont want to blow this hard earned money & not leave my son something when the time comes cuz I was selfish & threw-in the towel at 50...
paying $1000+ monthly for health insurance doesnt sound appealing!
Ok, think im done rambling
What do the wise people of this great forum that have been down this road say to encourage me

Just my understanding on expenses: his expenses are $1200/month and his S/O is separate which include all groceries, & house necessities (not sure how much all this would be) ... plus horse expenses, about $400 monthly.
With his previous health condition, he should seek reasonable health insurance plan as h e is getting older. With Covered CA / ACA, and income, it should be very cheap or reasonable.
Anything automotive could be a good part time gig: parts store or dealership, part time neighborhood mechanic as a side hustle - work at your owner pace, teaching auto courses, etc. should be able to cover the monthly expenses or take a break for awhile/retire.
