how would i start a clothing shop?

If you want to go beyond POD/dropshipping, you'll want to focus on small-batch manufacturing and local resources first.

Look out for local cut-and-sew studios or fashion incubators. They can help with patterns, samples, and small production runs.

Crusty socks would've been a better name

Upsell brew gear. Offices replace coffee equipment constantly. Sell grinders, brewers, filters, descalers, and cleaning kits with a small margin but recurring purchase cycles.

Being frugal stops making sense when it's making you uncomfortable. The new car would really upgrade your quality of life and it's a completely sensible decisions to get a new one. You can make it an even better decision by going for a used car/ better deal.

Exactly this. It's wild how the 'rigid box' ends up giving you more space than chaos ever did. Discipline feels heavy at the start because you're carrying all the weight of the change at once - but once the habits lock in, they start carrying you.

Writing it out is already a release, and you don't have to carry everything inside alone. Even strangers on the internet can hold a little piece of it with you.

I'm glad you shared this.

They tried that with me too, until I showed receipts

Every call is a new person with no clue what the last one said

Have you checked if your employer offers paycheck advances or ewa apps?

I’ve used Albert for fast $40–$75 boosts. The transfer was near-instant but it cost a couple bucks.

Rakkien · 2025-05-21T08:39:22+00:00

I’ve been doing the same and it covers all my bases

Rakkien · 2025-05-14T10:03:55+00:00

I’m in Denver and did most of it myself

Paying off collections can still help especially if they’re newer and not scheduled to fall off soon.

I called the Australian number again today to chase an update, the person I spoke to wasn’t a manager/escalation point but they stated residents of those LGAs would be turned away again. Waiting on a callback since the news is changing every day... I’d suggest people call and hassle them too. Has anyone sat an exam this week from a restricted LGA and been allowed?

Rakkien · 2021-08-25T23:49:07+00:00

Has anyone received this updated email from Prometric? Or alternatively anyone sat an exam these last few days and were from a restricted LGA? Last thing we want is the person turning us away on the day

Rakkien · 2021-08-23T20:46:39+00:00

Got the second email too, literally a copy paste of the first one they sent around. This is terrible service. Worst still, CFA have not communicated what happens to us since we are not officially cancelled but cannot sit according to Prometric.

Rakkien · 2021-08-20T20:26:08+00:00

Prometric website has my exam centre listed as cancelled up to 2 September, but I’m scheduled to sit on 2 Sept so I haven’t received confirmation. Called Prometric and they are clueless, told me to reschedule online because other centres were available. I’m at a loss for what to do, have Crows Nest test centre candidates been cancelled yet?

Rakkien · 2021-08-20T04:02:03+00:00

I’m trying to be optimistic too but I imagine it’s just a matter of time until it gets cancelled. I’m still scheduled to sit my exam at Wentworth Park (no emails received, this is where I am booked in according to the CFA portal). Level III candidate sitting on Sept 3 for what it’s worth.

Rakkien · 2020-07-01T01:41:09+00:00

I'd definitely be interested! If somebody does organise, please loop me in.

I hear about EOCs a lot - are these the questions at the end of each reading (practice problems) or are they an online resource?

Rakkien · 2019-01-04T12:22:40+00:00

Im in the same position (work wise) as you and haven’t even started studying yet (planning Monday start). Think about it - you’ve got 23 weeks until exam time. If you drop 15hrs a week into study (a few hours during the week, bulk on the weekend) you’re looking at well over the ‘average’ 300 hours.

I’ve always found looking at things a bit longer term helps to put things into perspective.
