This is FREE

Hope the second time's a charm...

Let me begin by announcing that I am NOT:

                1.  A financial planner, consultant, or advisor

                2.  Nor have I been, affiliated with Kiplinger or NAPFA

I am currently unemployed or, as I like to phrase it, between entrepreneurial ventures because it sounds impressive.  The intent of this article is to inform and educate only.  I do not advocate one financial planning service over another. 

With that being said, I do hope this article isn't flagged for SPAM as its early incarnation was.  Perhaps there is a financial planner amongst us who was miffed that I was informing folks about the FREE day-long live discussion. 

 

On with the article...
