You may have read me whining before but.............
My wife does the office and because of health issues can't do it anymore.
The Doc says if I keep working as hard as I am ( dragging a wand, moving furniture, carrying equipment ) I will be a cripple in 10 years. I will be just like my father. (see below x-rays) If I get a desk job, have surgery and take care of myself I will have a great life.
I can do two things.
Go into debt, try to expand my business ( which is a very good business ) hire guys and try to be a desk guy not a cleaner.
Sell my company, pay off everything we have, (not my house, but my parents house) and walk away with 80k in my pocket and do something else. ( less physical ) I do have a company that is chomping at the bit to buy me out.
I love this business. I love cleaning carpet. I have built this company from nothing to one of the most profitable in my area. My wife hates being tied down to the phone. She is such a good Mom and just wants to be there for the kids. She would like me to sell out. My body tells me the same thing. But I have no other skills. No collage.
If you were me what would you do?
The same Doc that did my Dads back looked at my MRI's. My Dad hasn't been able to work for 26 years. That has put a big money strain on the family.
