We have a decision to make.

I am running a water Refilling Station business for the past 10 years. No problems whatsoever, but lately, our employees needed to resign.
So we had no choice but to go hands-on. I do the Refilling while my husband delivers.
Problem is we not getting any younger and having said that our health is jeopardized. My husband is asthmatic, while I am on taking 9 pills daily for health maintenance.
I do not think we can endure this for another month.
I am thinking of closing the business and we just simplify our life. We can lease the space for additional income. And we plan to go find online jobs. We do receive monthly rentals from apartments, too.
Yes we do have a decision to make. And I would appreciate your help.
Do you think this is a good decision? Or do you have any opinion about this?

To me, it sounds like you only have once choice since both of you guys are in such poor health. If you can get by without the money from that, it might be the best possible solution. Nothing is worth becoming worse off health wise than what you are now. I wish you both the best of luck in whatever you decide.

Thanks for your comment Amber. We do not have any existing credits to pay anymore. So aside from monthly electricity bills and gas, I think we could go on with our lives. But of course, I was thinking weneeded to cut expenses, like fewer times dining out and less traveling.

Why don't you just hire new people? Unless, it's not earning as much as you wish it to be and letting it go is more financially better.

@Yadah04 That's kind of weird because there are too many jobless people.

@toniganzon Exactly. But I am from the province and most people in our place go to the city and find better opportunity there.

@Yadah04 People are often interested to buy (or rent) a place and to continue to do the same business. In this case, someone could be interested to continue to have a Refilling Station Business. People pay a premium here to continue a business.

@LadyDuck The problem however is that water Refilling Stations here need business permits, licenses and seminars to operate. I am thinking that in case I will have someone to continue the business, it would still be under my name and the responsibility is still mine.

Yes Judy, if only I could find a serious person for the job. But for the past 2 months, they just come and go. I am really praying to find someone responsible to do the job even if we would pay him/her a bit more....well that is to save the business. Otherwise, we'll be forced to close or else our health would suffer.
