After checking emails each morning - I check/read your blog.<br /><br />I have a feeling one day you'll end up going through something similar to Oprah - where you feel its time to give it up but no one else wants you too! <br /><br />I really enjoy your writing style and topics you write about... Keep up the good work and on behalf of all your readers...

Please do keep it up!<br /><br />I have particularly enjoyed the series on being an executor and the issues around transferring the family cottage. As I'm currently studying accounting, I find your attention to the non-technical aspects of accounting decisions (e.g. the family dynamics around a cottage) very engaging.

Your writing is of higher quality than all the other sites you mentioned in this post. You have a pretty good balance between packing the appropriate detail and making it pleasant to read (instead of, for example, cracking open the ITA and just directly quoting sections - reading the phone book is only a marginally less pleasurable activity).<br /><br />I hope all your "Google mind-share" you mentioned in your third paragraph translates into actual paying customers!Sacha Peterhttp://divestor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-39863294140019690722012-09-20T11:20:52.624-04:002012-09-20T11:20:52.624-04:00Thx Anon, I appreciate your readership and I am gl...Thx Anon, I appreciate your readership and I am glad the blog is relevant to you. <br /><br />It is also nice to know that someone else besides myself realized I have a wry wit, most tell me it is more like a dim wit :)The Blunt Bean Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358868550072516313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-57234397065298679132012-09-20T10:57:08.253-04:002012-09-20T10:57:08.253-04:00As a 50 yr old owner of a private business, I am g...As a 50 yr old owner of a private business, I am glad to have discovered your blog a few months back. Many topics are very relevant to my current life such as taxation issues, use of trusts, cottage and business succession, money and kids (i have 3) and others that help get me thinking. Keep up the interesting blog, your wry wit is great and makes for a great read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
