i want to do it.
i have prepped to do it.
i have the bookshelves build and the inventory on hand to do it.
but i crunched the numbers - i am going to spend a total of $30k and lose out on $90,000 on rental income for it (@10 years).
that's a negative $120,000 over 10 years right off the bat.
and as i will be 55 when i finally open the doors - i am scared about how long i have to live to enjoy it.
isn't that stupid?
i'd totally do it if i knew i could last to 70, not sure i would if i only last to 65.
ugh.

I keep on not publishing my first digital comic and I can’t even use cost as an excuse because it’ll cost me nothing.

So do it at your current shop. Just add a sign saying books That's what I am doing now. Problem is 2 things. 1. The computer part is so busy I'm burying my books and comics under laptops, motherboards, power supplies, and other computer components. Looks really sloppy. Messes with my ocd. 2. I need to get the books and comics out so I can sell the computer side while times are good. So there really is a need to give the book shop its own space. I just need to do it lol |

Hire an assistant to sort and set up the books and comics. Maybe one of your kids. 2. Maybe. 3. Or maybe make your computer shop also a MacBook and/or ChromeBook shop for a thematic connection. 4. I just realized Number 3 might be redundant. I was just grasping at straws. |

Tonight:
Me: daughter, I am going to do it.
Daughter: the book store?
Me: yes. I opened up a bank account today and will now save up for the next 2 years.
Daughter: mom is going to kill you.
Me: yep, mom is totally going to kill me but I really feel like I have to do it.
Daughter: I'll try to talk mom into not killing you.
Lol
