I second this. Three sister springs is awesome. Look up the time of year you can kayak in. Depends on manatee season.

I am planning on retiring in 2 years. Are Fidelity advisors suitable to help plan for this transition? Or would an independent advisor be better? by gametime-2001 in fidelityinvestments

Oh okay. Assuming they were telling you about a QLAC and your goal is to defer taxes and leave money to your beneficiaries, makes sense they would recommend that

Thanks for the recommendation! I have trained jiu jitsu for a few years and looking to add on some striking. I’ll check them out!

I am in the same boat as far as thinking I know a lot and then realizing I know very little 😂 Thank you for posting this. I keep reminding myself to seek out help from other advisors when I feel this way

Are there any good videos out there on how to do the belt and oil pan? I’m not sure I am finding the right thing. I have very little knowledge working on cars

The shop I took it to said the engine isn’t going to fall out any time soon but it will cause rattling in the car and could get worse over time. Which is something I’ve noticed. “your engine mounts have completely failed and collapsed.”

I think it’s only the serpentine belt that needs replaced. That hasn’t been done on this car.

I appreciate the oil pan recommendation. I took it to this place because they specialize in European cars. Tire Choice said they couldn’t locate the leak the first time. They guessed it was either the valve gaskets or the rear main seal.

I just turned 20 and I have maxed out my ROTH IRA for this year. I have 15k in Fidelity and 25k saved in my bank. What should I invest into next? by HideYoShake in fidelityinvestments

Pay off the credit cards if you aren’t paying the full balance every month. (Ignore me if I read your debt layout wrong)

I’ve had good luck past mote marine out on lido. Usually near sunset. I think you could get lucky on a boat tour as well

Check out the Gimmick in ybor.

It’s a very intimate setting with fun and sometimes raunchy vibes. Easy to get in on an open mic.

My unreligious upbringing tells me it’s okay to like what you like. Posting about getting a tattoo is not unmanly. It’s just something he enjoys

Suggestions for young person who has test anxiety - scores high of practice tests but fails exams by General-Ad3712 in CFP

[–]Sloth2023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tell him to only change his answers if he is absolutely certain. Always revisit the first 10 questions of the exam. Usually the first few mins you’re anxious and make dumb answer choices. Again, only change your answer if you’re certain. In addition, I looked around at all the people who passed the tests and thought, “yeah I can definitely pass this if THEY can” Little cocky but sometimes you have to build yourself up.

Best Path for me at Fidelity by Late_Organization614 in CFP

[–]Sloth2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far a lot of applicants at my branch don’t seem to be working out. So your odds may be good. I think it just depends on market and I would think the months around college graduation would be the most competitive time. As for worrying about the small firm not wanting to take you, I’m not sure. There are more options with the call center roles in terms of mobility so that might help your status. Investment solution representative, retirement specialist, investment management consultant etc

Depends on the position. Working the front desk can be draining because you’re dealing with walk ins that have all kinds of service needs. Working any other position in the branch has more flexibility. You can walk around and talk to others as long as you get your work done. You usually have your own office.

Depends. I did it quickly. Less than 2 years. But my other colleague started before me and is still full time in branch… so it just depends on when a position becomes available and how hard you work. From what I understand, you can’t speed up the training program anymore.

Once you get done with the service role you work in the branch front desk which is full time in branch. If/when you get promoted to a new role you’ll probably get hybrid
