*Updated* Life changing income about to happen and I need advice

(Update: This topic blew up with interest so I wanted to keep those informed. I resigned from my job last week! The business keeps growing. Since this post, we have started a website, have contracts with companies, and have consistently grown. Now we just need two years of life changing tax returns to get out of this cramped house! All done during the worst financial year of many Americans. We would have been that statistic had it not been for this. We are blessed. Eventually good things happen to good people.

Next year we will hire employees).



My fellow TD support group,

Our family is about to have a life changing event. Less than a year ago my wife started an online business to earn extra cash, and it exploded into money we could never dream of within the past few months, and shows no signs of slowing down as it keeps growing exponentially. We are at the point now where myself working only takes away precious time from the children and prevents her business from growing at a faster rate. I work out of town for long periods if time, so it is pointless to do that anymore. My plan is to I to work to the end of the year as her income will pay off debt and build a nice emergency fund. Then I am out.

From there, I want to start investing her money into more income but fun things for me to do that is not a corporate responsibility day to day grind. Like invest and manage rental properties, stocks, BS ideas like an ice machine on the street corner or atm machines. My wife hates managing logistical stuff/house maintenance services/car maintenance/ etc. I love doing that stuff. I do not want to be a house husband for the rest of my life as I think it will be a bad rile model for my son, but I will never be able to make the income she is making, and I make good money. This allows us to spend quality time as a family.

I need ideas. Anyone willing to share what they would do in my situation?

I am very tha thankful for my situation, the funny thing is that this stsrted because we needed extra income over the long term which forced our hand with her working.
