No matter how independent you think you are there is always someone to answer to. I’m an equal partner in a physician owned group. But I’m always answering to my partners, my patients, hospital administrators etc. etc. You can never truly be free until you can leave it all behind. But maintaining the same standard of living with no true income is almost impossible. Afraid I’ll probably be beholden to someone or something until my mind goes or the reaper comes to collect. But I hope to be driving in style until then. Get the car you want Lane. Life’s too short. You’ll work it out. You need something to put that wide grin on your face. We all do.
