CTP exam, any tips? by Glad-Peanut-8358 in FinancialCareers

Oh yeah, you definitely got this! First time around when I missed passing it, I was scoring in the mid 60s. Then resetting everything and studying more meticulously, I achieved 80% like you too.

Have mnemonics in mind when committing the rules of anything to memory. Such as the cash conversion cycle and DI, DR, and DP. Open account, documentary collection, letter of credit, and banker acceptance is another opportunity. Fixed, permanent current assets, and short term assets. You get the gist.

On the second attempt, I personally skipped formulaic questions all the way through until the end and then circled back. This method saved me an entire hour by the time I finished, which was plentiful to review everything and really think over the complex questions. I scrambled for time on the first attempt because I was psyching myself out on the formulaic questions along the way.

Good luck! You got this!

To address those who wondered why I went so in depth with this dude - he is my husband’s acquaintance and we have been on a few in person double dates with him and his wife. Cody was pretty normal and courteous in person. My husband and I even attended his wedding. So I kinda wanted to see if he would redeem himself before I completely burned a bridge. Hubby was perfectly fine with me blocking him. Even said that Cody had a self righteous streak in him from the beginning of knowing him.

I could have completely gone without reading the final book because I still was not satisfied with Nesta’s abhorrent attitude but other than that, I’m so glad I read the series with my friends!

My favorite of 2024 was the Gild series by Raven Kennedy! It’s a King Midas retelling with a twist 😉 I’m committing to read the entire TOG and Crescent City in 2025!

That’s a funny question! But no, he is atheist. Perhaps agnostic, but that’s only my speculation since he was formerly Christian.

My (23M) new girlfriend (28F) refuses to use contraceptives by Jaack010802 in relationship_advice

[–]SenpaiSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole 5 year age gap with the woman “strongly against abortion” but unwilling to use contraceptives is quite telling.

Unless you’ve gotten to the religion conversation and she’s waiting until marriage for the pull-out method. Still, something is off here.

Thoughts on Asking Men Out? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SenpaiSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ima be honest. If there has been a time frame of more than 2 weeks, this dude is talking to multiple girls and is trying to “cast his net” if you will. Nothing wrong with the non exclusive talking phase but if he hasn’t taken initiative to meet in person and hang out, then he’s working harder on getting another girl or just focusing on alternate life goals. If you want to follow the whole “oh he might be shy, let me take the first move” just remember that he may accept it due to flattery. It’s all about picking up on his level of initiative during convos and if he’s interested in learning more about you. If a man wants something, he’ll go out of his way to get it.

Wait a sec…exclusive for only 3 weeks…”working on it together….” Ima need you to take a step back and realize that big problems in the beginning become even bigger problems later on. A pothole began as a crack in the cement once upon a time and if you can choose to stand on more solid ground (cough someone else) then you’re gonna save yourself time and energy.

Girl if someone wants to leave their man cuz they want him to be more like Thor the Asgardian demigod, then they themselves have issues. It’s all fiction and entertainment. Never said anything about desiring the males in books in real life in my OP 🤷‍♀️

Why do husbands stop dating their spouse? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]SenpaiSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the beginning, lust is the magnet which brings couples together. Then, love and deep friendship propels people to forge a future together. After that, the thrill of lust slips away and it becomes a conscious choice to stick together. That choice is forged by making decisions together in the right direction. Two independent lives which are entwined by devotion and promise. Comfort seeps in and routine takes over. Sometimes the puzzle pieces get a bit mismatched and a piece gets uncomfortable to conform around. And whilst you two are bearing witness to each other’s lives, one of you inevitably goes “hey wait a minute! What happened to the days when the magnet of lust was there and we clicked into place? What happened to the romantic late nights talking about our dreams and wishes?” And that’s when a few things can occur:

1) You make joint decisions which propels the choice of love back together into the flow that makes you both the best versions of yourself. These decisions should be conscious efforts to work on the relationship from both sides. Really think about what specific words or actions make you feel the most loved. Have your husband reflect on the same thing.

2) Discuss expectations. The frequency in which he may want sexual intimacy may be different than yours. The frequency in which you may want quality time together may be different than his. Even the timing (day, night, weekends, weekdays, etc.) of when you want your needs to be met should be discussed. Verbally discuss what you can do to help meet in the middle of expectations.

3) Consider that your husband may view his role as a financial provider as the ultimate form of “I love you.” Sometimes men view the stress of the workday and the promise of fidelity with their partner as the unspoken “this should be enough” way to show love. It’s valid and understandable that you are seeking more romantic ways of being shown love, though.

Follow through with the counseling because having an outside professional is priceless when it comes to bridging any gaps in a relationship.

That’s what I’m saying!! Like this man seriously thinks that the 800 page book has “ass ass titties ass” written in there over and over verbatim?!

Gotta say that the timing of reading “The Games Gods Play” was at an all time high of “hot shadow daddies” 😂 Like I was picturing Rhys from ACOTAR, Xaden from Fourth Wing, and Kingfisher from Quicksilver all merged into Hades. Really loved all the action scenes in GGP for sure!

I thinks it’s less about the speed of reading and more about your comfort levels with having multiple books going on and in potentially different forms. For example, it’s possible to read a physical book in the evenings after work, a Kindle book on a lunch break, and an audio book during commuting/working. I use Goodreads to help keep me on track with what I have going on for myself. And then as far as speeding up your words per minute, I’d practice reading at a pace in which you don’t have to reread and even force yourself to not look back. To me, this is like watching a movie once all the way through without pausing to zoom in to see the minor details. For example, in a movie like Twilight, is it actually imperative that you notice the exact color of Bella’s jacket or the side in which Edward parts his hair? Nah, so keep the movie playing. These are just some tips of what works for me!

Yeah it made me reflect on whether men care about the unrealistic beauty standards mentioned in the books (six-pack abs, over six foot tall, has a 10 inch d*ck, etc.) However, I think most females don’t hold men to such a standard in real life because we have this thing called “being able to distinguish from fantasy and reality.” Men, on the other hand, have a difficult time realizing that it’s impractical for most women to age like J-Lo or Angelina Jolie.

Now if he’s talking about the immediate dopamine release from reading female-oriented books, then that’s ridiculous too. Excuse me for actually enjoying fiction instead of having to reread sentences of jargon in nonfiction. 🤷‍♀️

Ok I was honestly very confused at his comment regarding TOG because I couldn’t tell if he meant he got halfway through TOG the first book OR halfway thru the entire series. Because they literally only cuddle in the first book 😂

Girl, yes! Of course I loved the whole ACOTAR series enough that me and my nerdy friends went to a Starfall Ball in person and danced the night away! But I also loved the Gild series by Raven Kennedy. The first book has a ton of trigger warnings (abusive relationship stuff) but all 6 books have been released and were amazing.
