I make on average $1500-2400 a week. We have plenty of money for bills and plenty to have for backup, ect....

My partner wants me to to sell it, and get a job to where Im home everyday. At most Id make $750 a week, but that's given I can even get a job like that working for FedEx or UPS or something like that.

My biggest thing is that as much as I want to be home, and as much as she wants me to be home, I dont think we'd financially survive? I think I should keep doing what Im doing for a few years at least, and then think about it. It's SO complicated. I want to be home all the time. I just feel like its not possible right now...is it wrong of me to want to keep my current business just because Im worried about money?

I need thoughts ya'll....PLEASE......

Right now even supposing you could find a job that would allow you to be home as you wish to be, is kind of a crap shoot. Personally I'd wait, because having a roof over my head and food in the pantry is kind of important ya' know? Now if you two can put this off for a few years, you may be able to save up so that the $750 a week isn't going to be a hardship for your life style, assuming you have a mortgage, car payment, insurance utilities and of course gas. I may be wrong, but downsizing income in a recession doesn't make a hella lot of since. Think of it this way the more you earn and save, the better, longer, vacation you two can have.
