[quote=Anonymous]Something similar happened to my sibling. They were let go from their insurance jobs of 25 years. We encouraged them to look for jobs right away because of their age. My sister chose to live off her buyout thinking she'd find something right away. He was high up in their company, but somehow got the idea to buy a building and go into the hardware business. The business never took off, they owed 500k and it was one big mess. Lost their home in the process, he refused to go back into what he knew...insurance. My sister didn't want to drive further than 15 minutes so took a low paying job. 
Luckily today she has a small pension, but her lifestyle has downgraded because of all the poor decisions.

I don't know your situation, but if the business doesn't take off time to get jobs and continue to sock money away so you have a nice retirement etc. Her husband fyi used his retirement for the business, sadly after that it was a domino effect.

The saddest thing is it aged them and took it's toll, plus since they had lousy insurance they didn't go to the doctors like they should. Otherwise he would have been put on statins, etc. Like I said a domino effect of poor decisions. They wasted many years throwing good money to bad. He ended up dying of a heart attack so she's a widow right now.

OP it sounds like you two should walk away, take care of your health and get job security minus all that stress. Your post really reminded me of my sister's ordeal.
