I wonder if there is any interest?

If enough of you are interested, I could do a blog on financial planning for the self employed wood worker. I was a self employed broker and financial planner until health problems forced me into early retirement.

This will be basic planning only. Nothing complex or eccentric. Also, no personal situations will be covered and no personal advice given. There are legal reasons for this. In our overly litigious society, I’m sure you can all understand the reasons for my stance on this.

Another point, my experience is all in Canada, and while most of what I say will cover just about any free country, there will be local differences. Heck, we have different laws here in each province!

How about it? Do I dust off my financial planning hat, or do I leave it in the mothballs?

I have no objection to learning. If you are willing to share, I’ll be there to learn. As for location, I’m in the US where the dollar used to be almighty. We now use it to paper the stall…

I’m certain it is of benefit, so I’d give it a read for sure.
