Long story short.....I've been offered the opportunity to purchase and take over an existing proprietorship effective very soon. I've pretty much made up my mind that it's something I need to do, but I thought I'd get some input from you always reliable douchebags around here on some of the benefits/drawbacks of running your own business that may not have occurred to me yet.
Here's what I've come up with so far...
I haven't fully examined how it will impact my income, but I'm more than willing to cope with a drop in income to get out of this stupid place. I've enjoyed being overpaid and underworked, but it does get tiresome ....eventually
Benefits
More flexible hours during large part of the year
More control
More responsibility
Not working for selfish, greedy, clueless, irresponsible douchelozzles
Fuller work days
Some opportunity to work from home - Much better work environment - less stress from work environment - more controllable stressors
Busy times would coincide with the wife's busy times
Drawbacks
More responsibility and stress from work
Much longer hours during a portion of the year
Health insurance (wife is also self-employed...can use Cobra for 35% of the premium for awhile thanks to you fine, upstanding taxpayers!)
Expanded areas of knowledge - not really my area of expertise right now
Less time on BP (I know most of you assholes will consider a decrease in my posting a benefit )
Longer, less-convenient commute
Dealing with more people
SE tax
No more free hockey tickets - thanks, jim.
I'm sure there are some benefits/drawbacks I've forgotten to list or haven't even thought of....any thoughts?
