Well, you need to do a lot more research into the florist market, etc. before you jump in. Secondly, you both make $50k, meaning $100k combined? I'm not sure you'll be able to do that right away, especially while paying off loans, etc. I'm also thinking that $50k to build might be shooting too low, but maybe not in Maryland. How big of a town/city do you live in?
Also, you said you're studying engineering, so am I. What branch? How would you have the time to open a floral shop while doing this? I get up early and go to bed at 2 or so every night... and I don't take too many breaks in the middle. I can't see myself taking on a whole new life in addition to this...
edit: I forgot you're already working, so obviously you have time.
I'd get your degree, and go from there. Depending on what branch of engineering you're doing, you can and will make much more money doing that. Also, do you really want to spend all day, every day, with her?
