Oh no... I am a teacher and my wife works with me at the same school but as a teacher you have to supplement your income unfortunately.. When I say we are passionate about candles and the process of making them I am telling you the God's honest truth. We have been candle lovers FOR YEARS and YEARS. We don't need to have money tomorrow from this... but sooner is better than later with regards to money, LOL. Would I like to be able to retire from my teaching job and work side-by-side with my wife making and selling candles, ABSOLUTELY and that is what we are shooting for. I am also retired military but our thing is we want to work together doing something we love, and that is candles.
