Is this a good time of year for biz. For myself I try and keep a regular situation. But around this time of year I dont make as many appointments so I was curious.

The type of places they work at. Many government contractors give out bonus(s) if things good and the employee has good performance. Mine have been between $2000 to $8000 a year.  

Also depends if the clients are investors in taxable stock accounts. This year was a record year for mutual fund distribution, another good way to fund the hobby. I got enough to fund the hobby next year.

I have seen providers on Christmas day in the past when I could sneak out the house, lol.

Another tax/hobby tip. You can take your contributions out of Roth IRA for any reason if they have been in the account for at least 5 years.  I don't recommend you do that but I know folks will do it.

Yeah I paid out bonuses this year in excess of. I'm a new hobbyist and never real thought about it. But I love your suggestions. Making it pay for itself. I only see 2 provider. But its rather regular. So I like the ideas. I asked because I was wondering if I should give my regular providers something as I don't have time to visit. I have no ,issues with getting out. LMAO I structure it as a matter of conveyance.  

It's the end of summer (mid-August to early September) that's always the slowest for me, as many guys are taking their families on vacation before the kids return to school.  

Thank you lovely. I was curious to know. As I'm new to hobbying. And prefer a regular situation. I was wondering about my regulars. If they need my help. And as Ter has given me great advice before.
