    Great idea. Given @Terry_w is the one who writes these then perhaps he can post an index thread and update it accordingly. Do not allow people to post into the index thread, just the other associated threads.
    @Depreciator would you allow this to be stickied? A lot of people have got a lot of benefit from these posts and a lot of work on Terry's behalf and it would be great to have them constantly available at the top of the list as opposed to needing to search for them all the time.

    Would be more than happy for terry or a mod to copy / take ownership of this list (saves finding and making all the links again!)

    Thanks Chylld

    I have made a spreadsheet of posts and links so I can keep track. Maybe I could post a link every 5 tips or every week or so.

    Also don't forget the law tips. They don't seem to be as popular as the tax tips

    Most hamsters live to be 3 or 4 years old so couldn't have a hamster as a custodian trustee as would be a minor and couldn't execute legal contracts. A tortoise would be better as they can live to hundreds of years old. I believe a bowhead whale would be the best.
