Coister... I wish it were that simple. I should probably give a bit more explanation reguarding the underlying issue.
When I met her, I was making 90k + a year as a software developer. Throughout the time we've been together, I made that much or more money a year. After 9/11, the job market for my field crashed hard. I went a long time without income. Too long. She had to support us and it really was a major struggle.
The investment in new windshield repair equipment is minimal, a drop in the bucket really. Combined right now, we make about 50k between us. We're not hurting anymore, but we're right on the edge. For me, sales is easy, but she's never known me to do sales. She doesn't think it's my "field". She's almost obsessed with me getting back into software develoment full time. For now though, I know its not realistic. I can triple my personal income right off the bat if I jump back into WSR, but convincing her of that will be a difficult sell.
I'm going to sneak it in the back door by purchasing things I need a little at a time, then start doing it part time on the weekends. This will prove it.
I'm just frustrated because I really dislike my job and every day is miserable to me knowing what I COULD be doing....
