I’ve become good friends with the owner of the gym I work at. He recently offered me ownership of the gym, and we can talk about the price if I’m interested. I’m going to sit with him on Wednesday and look at the profit and costs of the past few years, but I do know the gym makes pretty good money (he says he pockets about 10-15k a month), but I’m scared to take it.

I’m only 22, and I still haven’t finished college. I know I’ll have to spend a lot of time caring for the gym, so it will slow down my studies quite a bit.

I’m scared of ruining my life if it goes poorly, and I’m afraid I might end up losing it in 10 years with no real degree or fallback.

I would seriously appreciate some feedback and opinions, because I feel stupid to pass up such a handout, yet I can’t shake that bit of fear.
