Kyle S asked:

My girlfriend and I have been dating for over a year and will likely be married. Her father owns a successful business and will be retiring in the next couple years, he recently spoke with her about selling the business to her, but I would need to help with the purchase since I have a better job and more savings at this time. I have no experience and not a lot of interest in this type of business and currently have a successful career in another field. Although his business would be more lucrative then where I would likely end up, it would require relocation and most likely working there with my future wife which brings up other questions in itself. Do I try to find out more about this? Express no interest? Or try to continue my current career and offer to help with the purchase, even though I would not work there?
