Well, hello, everybody.

Hello.

How can we help?

Okay, so my question is, should I take money out of my savings to start a small business to hopefully make more money, to save more money?

Because at this point, I think I'm on baby step six.

I just own a three-bedroom condo technically in Branson, Missouri, and I'm trying to pay that off as quickly as possible.

But I'm literally working 80 hours a week to try to get ahead, and I'm killing myself.

Oh, girl.

Well, I am a property manager at a Choice Hotel, and I make $20 an hour, so that's not even $40,000 a year.

I'm a front desk agent at the Hilton, and that's $16 an hour, so I probably make about $34 a year if I'm lucky after taxes.

Yes.

Right now I'm at the Choice Hotel and then I leave here at 2.30 to work 3 to 11.

Well, you're wanting to start a small business.

Maybe not completely.

If the business got busy enough, I would leave the hotel business.

But if not, I just want to add extra income.

Sure.

Because I'm more passionate about events and entertainment and mainly party planning.

Okay, so I want to rent out photo backdrops, you know, like the florals, like the pretty stuff people stand in front of to take pictures at, like bridal showers, baby showers, weddings, Mother's Day.

And I do have a couple of connections, like, with the Hilton and the convention center in town.
