What a night! I went to bed at 10, woke up at 1 to give Jr. her bottle and the next thing I knew it was 7:45! Woo hoo! I feel bad for hubby because I think he stayed up until 11 to give Jr. her bottle so I wouldn't have to. It's Murphy's Law she didn't wake up until 1! Such is life.
Hubby's dinner went well. His friend was working out of the country for awhile and recently returned to Canada. While in foreign lands, he invested in three apartment buildings. They aren't making any revenue and he can't unload them. Now he is struggling financially and is trying to come up with creative ways of making money. Enter hubby. He met with my husband to discuss a business venture.
I trust my husband completely. If he truly felt that this business proposal was a good idea, I would fully support him. But it got me thinking. When is investing or wheeling and dealing greedy? When is it just too much? Maybe if his friend had bought one apartment building instead of three, he wouldn't be in this predicament. No one knows for sure of course, but I'm wary. In my mind, you have a job, you have a house/apartment/condo, a car and maybe a cottage/RV. As long as you're not living paycheck-to-paycheck, all is well and you should be happy with your lot in life. Maybe it's short-sighted of me. Maybe it's naive or just my fear of the unknown. But why mess with a good thing? True, a risk may prove to be a boon, resulting in extra cash flow but is it really worth it? Does God want us to go for more? If God's plan's for us are bigger than our own, bigger than we could possibly imagine, does that necessarily mean "going big" in business? Is it okay as long as money is not the object of your devotion? As long as your goal is challenging yourself rather than bowing to the almighty dollar?
This is one of the reasons why I am not CEO of a multimillion dollar corporation! Too many questions. Too many uncertainties. Too many... is this all really necessary?
