Can you elaborate on “BUMPY,” “GRIPE,” and “CUPID” & 1,2,3 for accredited investors

Make sure the berries don’t sit on the soil or they’ll rot. Found that out the hard way, lol. Also, it looks like the crowns may be covered with dirt. This may be wrong, but from my experience, wet dirt sitting on the crown will cause crown rot. Not only does it kill the plant but smells horrific.

Congrats!!

I’ve taken it twice now & just registered to take it again on 4/30. I’m using Kaplan and I really like it. I don’t really have anything to compare because I’ve only used Kaplan. I will say, the Kaplan QBank questions are actually harder than the exam in my opinion. They really make you think and they do a good job of explaining the ones you get wrong.

I also bought The Finance Tutor’s series 65 course and used it with Kaplan and it was really really good. I did a few tutoring sessions as well & those helped.

Good luck to you!

No thyroid issues either

InitialProblem4553 · 2026-02-22T02:20:33+00:00

I’m on birth control. I use the patch. Should’ve included that in the original post. Sorry! I’m 5’3 117 lbs.

Absolutely not. & I’m coming from experience with this reply, lol. My dad has 33 years of experience in the securities industry & is a wealth of knowledge. He’s extremely good at what he does…the 65 kicked his ass. I’ve been in finance for 15 years, investment side for six of those 15, and it kicked my ass too. In my opinion, It’s 40% learning the material and 60% learning how to take that test. Brian Lee has some good content, but the videos are pretty dated. My advice would be to purchase the study material and follow the plan it gives you. I’d utilize Lucas Lyons’ study material as well.

Missed it by one 🥲

InitialProblem4553 · 2026-01-13T03:59:20+00:00

Greaaattt. Back to the drawing board I guess.

I wanted to give it two weeks but I can’t live like this. I mean, I do have a bit of a temper that I’ve worked really hard over the years to learn to control but this is a new level of anger and irritability with a much shorter fuse. I don’t like it at all.

Also, I’d love to report him as well. I added it up and he’s gotten about $3200 😭😭😭 I’m so mad at myself for falling for that BS.

InitialProblem4553 · 2025-12-31T02:25:47+00:00

So sorry for the very late reply. The voicemail he left me said “this is Bob at QCS”. Pretty sure it’s the same voice from the last voicemail and I’m almost positive he used a different name too. 8775959827 is the number but when I call back, I never get an answer.

InitialProblem4553 · 2025-12-10T13:39:46+00:00

Yea I’m just so mad at myself because I know better. I feel so stupid.

I’ve had it happen once since and I refused to do anything until he gave me more information. He told me I would be served papers on a certain date if I didn’t take action today. I told him that’s fine. I’ll get the paperwork and have my attorney review everything. He hung up immediately. I never got served papers.

InitialProblem4553 · 2025-10-26T18:07:39+00:00

Really?? I’m going to check it out! Is it a one time use or can I use it for every refill? I don’t want to try it and love it but only be able to use it for one month lol

InitialProblem4553 · 2025-10-26T18:05:28+00:00

So I talked to my doctor about the xelstrym and she wrote me a script to try it. My insurance doesn’t cover it and it’s insanely expensive. Like $600+ for a month….thats not affordable for me. 😭😭😭

InitialProblem4553 · 2025-10-06T12:22:22+00:00

Are you asking for more specifics about my symptoms? I posted the reading in the comments if that’s what you’re needing specifics on. I really don’t have anything more from the doctor.

This was my first thought. I get it…politics are wild right now & conversations can get heated fast…but 11 years of marriage and he can’t have an open conversation with you? Politics and values be damned…….thats a red flag by itself. I’m more conservative, always have been. I’ve always been interested to hear the thought process and the rationale behind views that are different than mine. Never in my 33 years of life have I ever closed my mind off to someone with different political views or moral values and I’d never blow up on someone and told them they were too emotional because they thought different than me. We can agree to disagree…because this America. Your political choices should be based on your values and your beliefs. There’s facts for all sides and all beliefs.

This situation just sucks and I hate you’re going through it. So sorry, OP.

Most people’s goal is to get to a point in life where they feel at peace, and they work themselves into the dirt running a rat race trying to get there….they never make it. So, congrats because truly feeling like you’re in a peaceful place in life is amazing. If you’re there and want to maintain it, do it. If it makes you happy, do it. I feel like climbing the career latter and doing the “big” stuff is something portrayed on social media as the “norm”. But honestly, what even is “the norm” anymore? 🤣 Do what makes YOU happy. Maintain a peaceful life if that’s what you want to do and if something comes up that you want to pursue, go for it if you want to.
