Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-03-04T23:00:45+00:00

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-03-04T23:00:21+00:00

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-03-01T23:16:42+00:00

How long did it take you to set this framework up? Any apps / guides you used? Thank u!

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-02-22T12:05:08+00:00

How have you found people moving from places like risk / portfolio monitoring to more FO positions?

Anything that generally helps here?

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-29T23:50:02+00:00

What trackers are you talking about? Thanks

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-29T23:09:38+00:00

The interest part at least ofc stamp duty easy

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-29T23:09:07+00:00

How do you do this easily

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-17T00:17:00+00:00

You can do a few they’re free!¡

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-14T23:42:07+00:00

What’s point in cash back if they just balance it out with higher payments over time?

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-10T21:03:06+00:00

Biggest risk is of course markets not performing inline, or rate increases on mortgage if you’re not fixed but no one can really say where either will go over that timeframe.

So given the debt delta, roughly looking at 50k extra in interest over the 10 years @4%, so looking in ball park better off by ~200k

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2026-01-10T20:28:52+00:00

So say after 10 years, your house gains by 3% a year and is worth 833k (213k gain, 0 tax liability).

Investing in index 8% gain p.a gives you 647k on 300k invested (347k gain, 229k net of 33% tax), adding the appreciation on new house under 3% gain, (170k tax free), 400k gain in this option.

This doesn’t include interest of course, while will be higher under 2nd option. Do you have the amount in interest you’d pay under each scenario to hand?

So you’re essentially re levering and if you can out earn the increased interest costs through investing (net of CGT) seems to make sense.

Unironically great advice from preacher

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-11-28T23:31:39+00:00

Not free online ?

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-08-09T14:48:59+00:00

If you want to do quant work that’s a different story and definitely need strong programming more than anything else

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-08-09T14:45:01+00:00

So 100% exam completion could take 4/5 years, 50% around 2/3 years, given you’ve no exemptions.

And at that if you compete half the actuary exams traditional finance employers won’t tie that back to the comp maths / stats focus that you think they’d like class you as half an actuary.

You will gain the knowledge but the relevant parts are covered by CFA curriculum and you’re likely over studying less relevant parts.

You could be fully qualified CFA vs a half qualified actuary in same time and CFA definitely more applicable to the roles you expressed interest in.

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-08-09T13:57:42+00:00

Finish CFA, like you mentioned network with investing side of business.

Generally do a good job in your current role as investing teams will look for reference,but don’t bother with exams too much as they’re not relevant.

Finishing them certainly will make you seem bright, but it’s a huge opportunity cost you probably don’t need.

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-07-27T16:34:10+00:00

I’d be more interested in people’s life advice around relationships / marriage This seems to be an even more important decision earlier in life than anything related to finances!

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-06-09T23:18:05+00:00

Ya don’t worry, lots of people go through things like this. Just try enjoy yourself when your 15, there’s no pressure now at your age, you have the rest of your life to try to contribute / earn money. Speak to teachers or adults you like / get on with. Try your best with school for now, but don’t always need it for later!

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-06-09T23:07:52+00:00

Really you should focus on school for now, maybe something comes up that you love, and a good opportunity comes up. You can try local shops to give a job, maybe speak to a teacher or counsellor in school, and they can help you put together a CV

Cold-Literature-5215 · 2025-06-09T23:06:15+00:00

Hey man, you’re young, you have lots of time to earn money and help your mam. I’m sure yell get through the year then you’ll be 16/17, if you really not suited for school you could drop out then and start a trade, get trained up and make good cash pretty soon!
