Having spent a lot of time thinking about “making my own path” financially in the last little while, I can also say that healthcare is an incredibly demoralizing factor. You can’t just succeed, you have to win spectacularly and hope your health stays good if you want to even break even with standard W2 w/benefits employment.

It's mind-boggling how much a barrier to entry it is to need something standard benefits vs. cutting it out on your own :(
