<prompt> Human: Hello, I am hoping that someone here can advise me and my family. My mom has owned this business for 25 years. For awhile it did very well, but now with the economic downturn and general bad financial planning we are struggling. I personally dont think we should try to keep the business anymore, but unsure since I have no finance background. My mom also has a serious gambling problem and we are trying to get help for it, but we have some debt because of it which Ive included. Can you please advise me on what to do? It doesnt look great... Also, I am currently unemployed but have been looking for a job for several months...when I find one I can also probably contribute a little bit, but I have about 6,000 debt from loans school and about 1,000 in credit card debt. Here are our monthly breakdowns: Renting out some parts of store 4,500 Avg monthly income from store 7,00010,000 heavy fluctuation - Rent, apt -1,850- Building mortgage -5,435 has been refinanced. - Property tax -14500 once a year, e.g. -1208 a month - Debt from borrowed money -15,000 - Costs of running the business -1,920 for part-time employee-1,5002,000 for stock and supplies est-700 water and power est -1500 owed to water power for past missed payments - Car payments, home utilities, car insurance, life insurance -370 , -150 , -300, -800- Credit card debt -4,000 - Food -1,000  <response>: 2 big red flags:1 co mingling of personal and business expenses.2 gambling problem.It often makes sense for one entity to own real estate and lease it to a separate operating company, is this the case?
