A Humble Question From Across The Pond

I stumbled upon this site about 18 months ago and have been reading ever since.

When I heard about Jonathan’s diagnosis, it really got me thinking about how I could contribute. The thing is, I’m based in the UK, and I was a bit hesitant at first because I know Humble Dollar primarily focuses on US personal finance – especially with all the ins and outs of US pension planning.

But I decided to post  a few essays on some more general financial topics, just to see how they’d be received. And honestly, I’ve been really encouraged by your responses!

So, I wanted to politely ask: would you be happy for a UK-based writer like me to keep contributing?  I’m obviously a bit needy and need some reassurance 😂

Are you anywhere near Edenfield?

Mark, I spend much of my day in online conversation with “furriners” on social media hosting fans of the football club Everton. (I’ve been a Toffee for 40 years now.) I’ve built friendships so deep that I stay with them when I go over every few years to watch games. On the site we talk not only footy but politics, music, history, travel and just about everything else — except money, which apparently is too personal to discuss. So it seems perfectly natural to me to be reading commentary from someone who writes with a different accent than mine!

Please continue. Unless you’re a Liverpool or Manchester United fan, of course. In that case, sod off. ;-))

My son is a die-hard Man City fan. We saw our first match there back in March. It was a great experience. He and his family did some trail in Wales afterwards and saw a match in Swindon and enjoyed. And I agree about Liverpool and ManU. Except for a dear nephew who somehow picked Liverpool!
