Is your uni (now and next year) close to the renovation project? If not you run the risk of 1, Failing at uni having devoted too much time to bricklaying, plastering and plumbing, 2, Splitting with girl after many tired arguments, 3, running out of cash to renovate and selling at a loss.
If your girls business is making a good profit (not just turnover) then she might be able to carry the renovation burden by hiring tradesmen to lighten your load.
If her business is really just a hobby and actually losing money then you might wish to be flexible in the job market after your postgrad stint and not tied to one place.
Just a thought.
Yep! Doing my final year whilst renovating a property and holding down a job one day a week is going to be a challenge. Me and my lady have been together for almost 8 years now, been through business start ups, family bust ups, 5 years of universtiy, living at other ends of the country to each other... not once have we had a break or anything daft like that.
Business is far from a hobby, she employs two seamstresses 3 days a week and takes a wage for her and her business partner. All of this is well ahead of projections so looking good.
I understand the benefits of been flexible with post grad employment but I can't think of a single employer who I would rather work for in my sector. If I sat down with you over a pint and talked though what I have done this year alone with the company I'm working for you would be gob smacked, I have to pinch myself.
Other buyer fell through then?
Yep, apparently it was too much work... could be interesting.
