Hang on, your family's business is dependent on the money you make with a job for a business that's completely different and unrelated to it?

Kind of, yes. I had quite a bit of savings after a previous year or to of being overworked by them. During the period when I wasn't working at the hotel, me and Mom decided to start a business and try and build it up to replace my income. We actually got a really good deal on things to get set up. But with no other income it quickly started to drain my savings.

Then right about the time that it became concerning, my boss called and asked me to come back. Promised it'd just be for 2 nights a week. Which would then be able to cover almost all the money I was putting into the business. So I went back in order to help find the business and eventually be able to leave this job forever.

It's finally starting to become stable and is earning a bit of profit. But not enough for me to quit without risking it all again. It's just take a bad month or two with no other income.

Things will be improving for our business soon. So I've been trying to hold out till then. I just wanted to use my vacation time for some extra Christmas money and to get a bit further ahead.

Ugh.

There's another update, but I'll get to that later. Nothing bad for me yet, just a little shocking to learn. Won't affect me much.
