[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 555779, member: 84"] Maybe he needs to hear that truth be told the lawn business absolutely stinks?? Too many IF factors at work.....weather, equipment, GAS, physical condition, weather........economy (cuz let's be honest, money gets tight and people tend to mow their own grass) At his age, realistically speaking, just how long does he think he'll be physically able to do such a job day in and day out? I admit Fred wasn't the most active person, but by his late 50's it took 3 or more days of constant harassment from me to get him out to mow our own lawn, let alone someone elses. Our yard is not that big either, really. I can do in in about a half hour. I'd tell him he can have his dream once you're out of debt. Fred wanted to open a store. I was never really quite sure what type of store he wanted it to be......from his description a sort of variety store with all sorts of cool things to sell. It's ok to have dreams. One just has to be realistic about the timing. We've had several very prosperous lawn companies go under in the last couple of years. First was the economy. Then the whacky weather and the economy. Not to mention people desperate to make bills were out there under pricing them and snatching away business. I *think* we have one left........I don't think it's doing very well. I rarely see them around town. Tell husband he will have to put his midlife crisis on hold for a while. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
