You can walk away especially with 300+k. I just did but for a lot less. That was always in my plan tho. I bought in to get out of my dead end job. Ran a profitable business for 8 years and sold. It did take 2.5 years to sell (also very niche) but some of that was the pandemic. I plan on getting a certification and starting my next journey. The money from the sale and my wife’s support does help with the transition. You can plan and make a change. Good luck
I remember seeing a eBay store in the movie 40 year old virgin and I wanted one. Much easier to just have an account and flip things out of my house than to pay for a commercial space. Just my side hustle
When I first got married my wife sold some beauty products for some multi level marketing company. The products were terrible and she had to push them to her friends on social media. One of her friends told her if she didn’t quit posting she would unfriend her. I didn’t have the balls to tell her to stop but I knew it would fizzle out. She since has found a great job and is happy and making more than me. Although I didn’t “be honest” with her this time I did get in trouble about a few outfits or whatever and have learned to let her be her. That way she lets me be me. Have a conversation with him that you appreciate honesty but if it’s not nice (even though it’s constructive) then just let you make the mistakes and find out what works for you. Then you’ll do the same for him. Y’all should definitely have financial conversations about budgets and the future. Because this tone of the post sounds financial not necessarily that he doesn’t like what you do.
The best business solve a problem. Unfortunately he’s not solving a problem he’s an artist. Maybe he could make cool coffee tables instead. People pay up for nice looking usable furniture.
There is an app that you can rent storage space to your neighbors. I forget the name
