Taking over my family cleaning company and I want us to hire one person more than we need, vs the bare minimum # of people. I also want to pay them 18 instead of the 17 we currently do.

This will result in at least 1 but maybe 3 months where my family barely makes any profit, but I argue if they and we just tighten up the hatches for that small period of time, use our comfortably sized nest egg, then we can have a team thats stable for more than 3 months at a time AND we can finally grow by being able to aggressively pursue new clients

​

My family’s very against this and thinks I’m a naive socialist, basically. I’m a little out of arguments
