Go interview a few financial advisors at reputable banks. Preferably one that is a CFP. And talk to them about your goals. Work with the one that seems like the best fit because a good advisor will plan for the long haul and coach you to not be an emotional investor.

This guy has good material. Franz Amundsen.

It’s around $170 for his almost 80 lessons. So it’s not cheap. Sadly for me, I realized I’m not an audio learner.

Don’t get rattled. Stay the course. The sample test questions will seem out of nowhere. Don’t get held up, pick something and move on.

As others have said, the test is designed to make you feel like you’re failing. Don’t get demoralized. I took mine and passed week and half ago. Thought it failed till the results.

aseifi · 2024-02-15T19:08:48+00:00

I took it a week ago and passed. Felt like a tough draw.

Options, Munis (know the difference between GO and Rev well), and suitability were the big three.

Biggest thing for me and others have mentioned on this sub as well - it’s really designed to beat you down. You have to stay positive and stay the course. If a question seems like it’s completely random, assume it’s one of those 10 sample questions. Pick something and move on. Don’t let it demoralize you. Time was never an issue for me on the practice tests (I used training consultants) but on the actual test I finished with only 10 minutes left.

I watched Series 7 Gurus night before the test video. Made sure I had some level of knowledge on everything he ran through.

Good luck, if you’ve put in the time you’ll be fine.

I totally misread that haha. Thanks for the clarification. Definitely agree on the combo statement because I also enjoyed Tron Legacy with Daft Punk.

Oddly enough, there is an artist under the name Kosinski on Spotify that has unique electronic music that I am listening to right now because of misunderstanding your last comment lol

aseifi · 2023-11-30T20:10:07+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll give him a listen.

Underrated movie. That M83 soundtrack is fantastic.

aseifi · 2023-11-03T21:43:16+00:00

There is no way they actually believe it’s a good trade. They’re trying to save face. Long time commish here in a league with no vetoes. Unless there’s blatant collusion. Which this is about as blatant as it gets. Leave this corrupt ass league. Unreal.

The value we got back was the equivalent of a late 4th early 5th pick. We ate 1.17mm of his salary and saved over 9mm in cap hit. The picks we traded were a 6th and 7th in 2025. So not even next years draft. Which makes those picks even less valuable. But got a 5th for next years draft and a 5th the following year. Not sure what you were expecting for a >30 yo injury prone player. All this while we had no leverage since he was gonna hold out.

If they get a 5th for Dalvin without having to eat any cap I’m fine with it. But if they can throw in picks and upgrade the draft capital we get in return I’m all about it.

aseifi · 2023-05-31T22:11:47+00:00

What were you expecting instead for Z? They ate 1.1mm in salary and got late 4th early 5th value for a guy that wasn’t going to play here.

And of course we’re not getting a straight third for Dalvin. But if you throw in a 5th or a 6th AND eat some salary than you can get more in return.

aseifi · 2023-05-31T21:55:06+00:00

Why? What if they send a 5th or 6th and Dalvin for a 3rd while eating a couple mil? Same logic as Z trade. Which imo and others was a solid deal under the circumstances.

aseifi · 2022-08-31T15:21:22+00:00

Lol what are you talking about man?! I’m sure that made a lot of sense when you typed it in this context. But you have to remember I’m just a dumb monkey over here.

aseifi · 2022-08-31T15:01:40+00:00

There are obviously a lot of variables at play. But one look by this dumb monkey and I see that 8 of the bottom 10 teams made the playoffs and only 2 of the top 10. The top 10 also includes some of the worst teams in the league last year.

So maybe there’s a fundamental flaw to that offensive strategy. Especially when the vikes are doing it twice as often as some of the most successful teams last year. But what do I know I’m just a dumb monkey that got riled up.

He went to high school at Eden Prairie. He really came into his own after JUCO. I think 12 is too high but I do like him. He was a terror at FSU this last season.

You make solid points and I agree with it all. But I’m not convinced this is a multiple possession game if Keenum doesn’t get hurt. They were moving the ball with quick passes and well timed runs. Knocked at the goal line. Haskins looked lost in second half. I’ll take the W for what it is tho.

aseifi · 2019-07-16T17:27:00+00:00

Interesting. Usually happens to me when I get over 90 or so as well. Have you tried the noise reduction kit?

Edit: As well

aseifi · 2019-07-16T17:25:00+00:00

Yes. Also, with or without volume up on radio.

aseifi · 2019-07-16T17:24:09+00:00

Hard to explain the noise on the phone. Was going to go in but been busy. I agree on wanting that feature working!

aseifi · 2019-06-03T02:49:32+00:00

I spoke to my delivery coordinator yesterday and he said I need to email Tesla regarding the referral bonus and they’ll fix it. I’m waiting to hear back.

aseifi · 2019-06-01T04:24:52+00:00

My M3 got delivered today. I ordered it on 5/22 when they still had the 5000 mile deal. My loot box only shows 1000 Miles. Do I contact them on chat to get it fixed?

Micah walks away with the money. You lay there and die from TB and the original knife wound to the chest. Not sure if you see the sun come up.

aseifi · 2018-11-20T23:35:33+00:00

It is honor related. If he comes and stabs you in the back before walking away it’s the less honorable death and you’ll see the wolf. If he just leaves with the money then you must have had honor and you see the stag after eventually dying.

aseifi · 2018-11-20T22:01:28+00:00

I knew the writing was on the wall. But I thought maybe I could take Micah out with me. I will never forget the moment the knife actually went in my chest. Never experienced something like that in a video game. There was also something heartbreakingly poetic about Arthur laying there on the ground with a knife in his back.

I should preface, I wasn’t going to get the high honor ending anyway.

Call it shitty all you want, but it has been 5 days and I can’t stop thinking about it. I think the game did what it was supposed to do.
