Default starting out

I gave a little insight to myself in the introduction part. Mowing N More. I have a question that maybe some one could give some insight to. I have been in the rv repair industrie for fourteen years, and I am looking to do lawn care full time. I have run the numbers several times with my buisness partner,my wife, and I think we could get buy if I were to quit this next year. I told her that with us hireing three people to work for us to do the jobs would work this next year, and I keep working at the present place. I would like to really quit and do the yard care and only hire two to work with me. Her fear is we have two kids under the age of six and one on the way. I have never been layed of at the present job and the money is good. I am also alittle afraid of what a change it would be to not to have that steady check. I have it figured right now that I would make twice as much a week as what I do at my present job but that only last for the summer months. How much do you think that I should have saved up finashally before I were to try to venture out. Sorry about the spelling Thanks for any input M Trunkhl Mowing N More.

Are you getting benefits such as health insurance from the rv repair job. Also, I would take your monthly bills and multiply that by 6 to get the amount needed to give up the rv job. Give me more input. How much are your monthly bills now, and how much will they be the the third child arrives?
