I'm in the same boat, why would I not leave it up to the independent contractor to determine how much taxes they should pay. Plus services like Uber Eats take a two figure percentage of everything to begin with.

Absolutely. People grow, people change. We shouldn’t tie ourselves to a version of that person that no longer exists. As you said, some people are just with us for a season.

My best friend from 4th grade through most of college and young adulthood and I parted ways a while back.

I relish our time together and look upon it fondly but we had just become very different people with different interests, political beliefs, religious beliefs, etc. and trying to hold the friendship together was really tough for us. It seemed like the harder we tried to get our friendship back on track, the more we argued. So, I pretty much said to him what I just said in this paragraph and we moved on. I check in on him and his family on occasion but we are no longer in each others lives and it is best for both of us.

First. They are not your friends. Second. You need to cut people like that from your life. Just start ignoring me and hanging out with them. I dont know what age you are, but if you are still at younger side it should be easier to acquaint new people and form new friendships. Depends also on your social skills.

Fair point and I will give you that. However my point is that:

A) NDAs and the like are not going to affect you anyways unless you violate them by disclosing information you were specifically told not to. Sign it anyways.

B) Non-compete contracts are the only thing worth reviewing here. Even still they are so astronomically unlikely to ever affect you anyways. Sign it anyways unless you're working in a very niche field.
