I was not raised to think like an owner. You had a 401k or something but there was none of the ownership thing. I didnβt really think about that until I didnβt have ownership. But what I realized when I was freelancing is that youβre on a treadmill. I think so many people miss the boat on that. If people are going to create stability for themselves in the long run, they need to own something. β Patrick Mcginnis
