I decided to "invest" half of my savings in my wife's business (well not her own indeed but partnership)
The business seems promising according to MJ's book, but this is not the purpose of the post
I am having second thoughts of giving her the money, as i don't like at all the way they handle the finances with her partner
They don't seem to even bother bargaining for the office rent price. This is the first thing that rang a bell
The second one is they were too slow on confirming some reservation on a business exhibition so the tickets are now another 100 euro more and another 200 euro more for the hotel rooms. And they don't seem to think this is inappropriate for a start up.
This is not a big difference money wise, but seems to show a trend of not taking care for every cent.
And today i lost my temper when i found out their intend to get company cars which are like 25 % more expensive of what was initially planned as they consider the entry level models not comfortable enough. (Cars are really needed as they need to be visiting places, )
This is total Bs, they don't have their first deal yet.........
Now i need to either find a way to control this or back out. I mean you don't put the horse in front of the carriage , right?
How do i deal with this, any ideas, considering she is my wife, and that i have not yet transferred any funds to their accounts.
