Thoughts on my Thoughts
By JLP | May 13, 2008
I have been getting a lot more emails from readers lately asking for advice or help with their financial situations. While I am ALWAYS happy to help out (a lot of the questions make great blogging material), I do need to make something clear to readers:
My responses to these requests MUST NOT be construed as advice. I’m not getting paid for my thoughts. Therefore, my thoughts should only be the beginning step on your financial journey. Unless you are comfortable making your own financial decisions, you should always consult a paid financial planner (I prefer fee-only planners but that’s just me) for specific advice.
Also, if you send me a question and I don’t post it, it’s probably due to the fact that the topic is either too complex to blog about or I just don’t have time to get to it. In addition, I like to post questions that draw reader participation. So feel free to add your comments to any of the posts I write.
And please, no hard feelings if I don’t address your question.
Thanks for reading.

I guess I am surprised at the types of questions that you do get. I don’t see myself finding someone online, without any credentials, and asking them how I should handle my life finances. I know people are looking for free advice, but honestly it just scares me the answers that these people may be getting other places too.

I really don’t disagree with any of your answers thus far for reader questions, so I think it’s great you’re giving out advice. A disclaimer is always useful, just in case
