[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 555773, member: 13882"] By the time you're 50, you've probably been working full time about 30 years. If that 30 yrs. has been in primarily the same job/industry, it's understandable to want to chuck it all and have a radical reinvention. He's got to recognize that he needs to postpone that impulse for the next 4 years. on the other hand, if he can just be a silent partner with his friend, be an investor, but continue to work on his regular job, that would probably be doable, but of course that's only if you have extra $ to throw into a business, which I doubt. The landscapers who own their businesses in my area are very well off, but they've been established for a long time, since they're about 20, and they've built it up over time, even over generations. They employ a lot of people, and in the winter they also do snow removal for residential and business customers. They make a lot of money, but their expenses are high and insurance is high, too. There's also a lot of competition for clients around here, and gas is a killer. husband was probably having a temporary senior moment. Try to convince him to put this idea on the burner for 4 years, and after easy child graduates college, he can reconsider if he's still interested. You're in the home stretch now, just 4 more years! It sounds like forever, but it goes fast. It's hard to always put other people's needs first (like your kids!) and shelve your own dreams. [/QUOTE]
