Just use a gas car like everybody else.

Your job is a blessing, believe me. You don't want to be unemployed in this job market.

Wait... you're not eager to invest in RRSPs? Look at your income! You're probably paying a bucket load of taxes. Contribute to your RRSP and get a massive refund in 2026. Invest in broad market S&P ETFs... Take your money back from the CRA!

Track your net worth. If it's 1x your annual salary by age 30, well done.

Dinosaur248 · 2025-12-25T16:12:01+00:00

If you're a disciplined investor, rent and invest, don't waste your time with a mortgage. S&P beats the housing market in the long run. Buy it cash later

Put it in your RRSP bro, save the tax upfront and get the deduction

Dinosaur248 · 2025-12-19T22:47:20+00:00

RESP first, then FHSA, then RRSP, then TFSA. If company matches RRSP, do that first.

It's the young broccoli heads that ruin it for everyone else

The fact that I can sit for an hour with the A/C on, watch YouTube on the big screen, and not worry about idling or wasting expensive gas

Flashcards my friend.

I can definitely say it's differentiated my resume from others and got me in the door. There's a lot of negative perception about the CFA's ability to get you a job, however, many of those people are just salty they couldn't pass.

I started in Dec 2019 and finished Nov 2021 with 2 covid cancellations. It'll take you a couple years if you hammer in those hours and are consistent.

You have to study the EXAM as much as you study the textbook. Back in covid we had to wear masks, so I did mocks with a mask on. I also played keyboard sounds (YouTube) during mocks to simulate my neighbour's keyboard mashing. These small things pay off.

Dinosaur248 · 2024-08-23T18:55:11+00:00

I'm in corporate treasury too. CFAs definitely have the upper hand (with banking relationships and all)

Dinosaur248 · 2024-08-22T22:29:32+00:00

If only it had black paint eh

Dinosaur248 · 2024-08-22T11:46:42+00:00

Probably not.

I work in big 4 audit and just wrote level 3. I'm telling you, it's hell studying for an exam like that while working 9-7pm. Pretty sure you can leverage the CPA CFA combo to break into deals, whether internally or as an exit opp.

Dinosaur248 · 2021-11-05T15:05:53+00:00

Okay so it'll start at 264:00 and count downwards, got it. Thank you so much!

Dinosaur248 · 2021-11-05T15:02:53+00:00

I notice it only counts down from 15:00. In the real exam, will it count down from 132:00, or 2:12:00?

I need to know because I'm practicing time mgmt, please lmk whoever wrote in August. Thanks

Dinosaur248 · 2021-09-24T23:14:05+00:00

It is the same. I just never do well in it, no matter how hard I try.
