What is your definition of "financially independent"? Like, independent from parents or totally on your own?
I thought about you tonight, Ebony. We got a patient from Russia. I thought we might need an interpreter, but he speaks English. We have the coolest thing at my hospital. It's an interpreter service where you just pick a language from the screen on this portable machine and you are automatically connected to an interpreter. There's no video or anything, and no names are used, so it must be a secure line directly to the service. You could end up working for one of those companies!

I went straight into the military after college graduation. That was when I became an adult: had to live on my own budget, find my own place to live and set up a household, find my own eats, and take complete care of myself. I was 22 years old and until this time I had lived either in my parent's house or in a dormitory with a cafeteria.

Technically, at the age of 17, but I sent plenty of begging letters, some of which were successful. I had working-class parents who'd ascended ro the middle-class through my father's (relatively short-lived) business which had a single (relatively) powerful backer. Now it's all struggle again but still heads are above water.

19, 3 months after I graduated HS. For years I was told that I had to be out of the house within 3 months of graduating so I joined the Army. Although I was fairly independent during my senior year, worked labor jobs, earned money, but I didn't pay for the roof over my head. I did buy my own car, paid my own insurance, and bought most of my own food.
