My friend brian called and we spoke. He pointed out that it was ME who made this possible. When she told me the idea she had no way to actually do it because she owes me about $1,600 for utilities and taxes, which she doesn't have. She had agreed to pay half the utilities because I pay the mortgage and all the big bills. She only makes $1,200 a month right now part time.
So to help her I told her I would expect to be paid the minimum amount she can pay for her share of that month.
So, without the house bills to worry about, she can now barely afford the office. And I told her she had 3 months to make the amont required to pay her share of the bills to me.
As I see it, she wasn't handed it on a platter, but she HAS to recognise that it was ME who gave her a place to stay, ME who removed the financial obstacle preventing her from doing this business and ME who will be there when she needs help. She will notice. And, I did the good and decent thing
