It would be a bit limiting to be a financial planner without being able to recommend specific securities (ie specifid ETFs) but it's better than nothing I guess. Mike CI – thanks for the info.

FJ - there are two fun parts of home staging: 1)- the planning (deciding what work to do) and 2) admiring the finished work. Everything in between sucks....

I'll link to it, print it, and use it if you do. Financial planner would be a great career for most of us personal finance bloggers (and I include myself loosely in that "us") if it didn't involve the used-car-salesman aspect that so many of them have to have. I can see myself offering advice, but I can't see myself selling services to people who don't want them - it would just make me uncomfortable. Mike – definitely do a home staging series!

Whether you do part, all or none of the work yourself is not as important as knowing what you are doing and where you want to go.

I know how to clean, but I sure as heck don't like doing it... Great courses! I'd love to take all of them...

I think the trick (for me at least) is to keep it in manageable chunks so that it doesn't become a part time job. CC: I'm planning on doing a few posts on that (maybe another series??).
