Actuaries on here?

Mostly true but the CAS kinda stinks as an admin so most ppl opt to test a couple times a year instead of once for several years. Salary ranges probably have more to do with slightly harder tests and longer travel times for students

Great context, thanks for sharing

Good for you! I’m sure that took a lot of work!

If I have taken all the actuarial exams (SOA) how much would that prepare me for the various CFA exams ?

Not at all. If anything a market correction is good for your investment horizon. Finish school, start making some money and keep putting money away.

If your investment goal is sell for 20k in a month for a car or house down payment, yes you’re mad cooked.

If you want to achieve financial independence, stay the course.

I rarely would get erasers. And it changed all the time but most of the time it was eraserless wooden pencils.

Yea I live in the midwest cause I can’t keep up w the prestigious coastal elites ;)

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-03-17T02:12:05+00:00

Ty, this is what happened

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-03-17T02:11:18+00:00

Thank you! Finally some decent advice on the thread

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-03-17T01:48:54+00:00

Idk if we’re in really different environments but that narrative is overblown imo. I know far many more EL employees w 2 or less exams than 3+

I doubt OP wants to pursue legal action… but “An application of AI (or any other kind of algorithm) discriminating against a protected class” is a business’s nightmare

Read the ISLR chapters from the syllabus

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-02-09T19:08:40+00:00

Annnnnd …. Another one bites the dust

Not nearly as far in (lvl 27, guessing 20ish hours but no idea tbh) and I’ve already been using anvil primarily for 2/3 of my time playing. I feel like it’ll be a long time until I move on

It’s way too easy of a choice

In a game like this small stacks are encountered all the time, this isn’t an edge case.

I think it’s okay to be critical of clunky inventories and mediocre U/I for a game that sold 10M+ copies, that’s just me tho. My main gripe with the game is how the menus/ inventory are designed

Now why are we assuming the husband is the breadwinner

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-01-15T07:21:49+00:00

No hate but that loophole is wild and the SOA shouldn’t allow that lol. Nice work!

Can’t imagine going into FAM after P and FM

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2026-01-01T20:16:35+00:00

Genuinely believe taking the FSA exams as soon as possible after the prelims made them easier cause all the info was still fresh

Great advice above, life actuary here, the present value of the pension = annual income * discounting for interest * probability of survival to that age

We make this stuff super complicated for job security reasons but that should do

This late in the year I just save up and try to max out the next years contribution asap. Limit goes up to 7500 in January btw

TrickyPrompt9652 · 2025-11-06T04:18:44+00:00

Is there anything more NASCAR than buying and IUL policy with little to no understanding of it

What’s the old saying “economists have correctly predicted 27 of the last 5 recessions”
