For a month now, it has been a debate among us sisters whether to let Mom have a business of her own. Mom is already retired. At age 60, she is financially stable from my Dad’s insurance plus she gets her children’s support too. All of us sisters have very good businesses and careers already so in terms of financial reasons, an additional business is just plain greedy.

My sisters preferred that Mom just relax, enjoy her life and just do whatever she wants. They do not want Mom to get stressed with some business that her friends just suggested. In my point of view however, having a business gives a sense of challenge and fulfillment. Yes, I agree that businesses can be stressful but then again it could also be fun. Imagine being 60 and doing nothing. It is just letting your life pass by for nothing right?

Anyhow, good thing my sisters considered my opinion and they finally agreed to support Mom on her business. By the way, my Mom decided to set up an internet cafe. Since I am the IT professional in the family, I will take care of helping mom purchase cheap desktop computers for her cafe. My sisters, as always, are the capitalists, because they are already filthy rich and their husbands do not really care about spending money that much.
