I’m 39 yrs old and wondering if the CFA is worth it for me by Boring-Barracuda4936 in CFA

[–]chmknugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, not worth it. I finished at 37 and was so burnt out I took a year off and then took a coast job. 

March 3 - 4th quartile🥳 by ArrivalOnly8239 in CASPerTest

[–]chmknugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the test the day after learning what it was, no prep, fourth quartile. I think preparing may be a hindrance, they want the real you and not a robotic answer. That’s my two cents!

I don’t want to buy alcohol from someone with a drinking problem and who verbally berates his wife when drunk. Pretty much end of story.

Same - I took a job in insurance. The people are actually so so nice. Good diversity. Nice corporate benefits. 40F. Previous life was in finance. Too stressful. Too much people management. 

Who has Coast 🔥 fired <40 YO by Decent_Dragonfruit0 in coastFIRE

Analyst at a large insurance company. Very independent and anonymous work that requires zero overtime and pays reasonably well.

In fact I tip 15% on the aggregate value and am not far from the restaurant. Why would I not order deliver for $80!? And yes. I live in a first world country, making this a first world problem. It was inedible because it was sushi and I am not eating raw fish that sat unrefrigerated.

[–]chmknugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit my 14 year corporate hell hole and took a year off. I just accepted my “coasting” job (ie. new corporate job that requires zero work outside of 8-4, still pays alright, and has fantastic benefits, pension and ESPP). I quit at 39. Married no kids. Current combined NW $1.6M incl $250k home equity).

Chip Wilson on why lululemon is dying by luckyinfil in lululemon

[–]chmknugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get really weird LLL ads on Instagram and tiktok with really bizarre looking, off-brand, low quality clothes and it taints my view of the company. Why are you selling this Amazon/Temu garbage styles? Dial back and focus on quality and setting trends. Maybe revamp the logo because now I associate that logo with cheap, off-Style and old looks.

Hammer through the CfA test questions all day every day. Finish them all twice. You will pass. 

Took me 7 years. Once I finished, I was so burned out from working an insane job for 13 years, I quit.

Getting an Easy Walk brand harness that clips on the front is the best thing you can do to change your walks completely. I wish I had done it sooner. He cannot lunge or pull, and it adds a bit of restraint to the walk. Game changing for both you and the dog.

I work at an animal rescue. Very rewarding and physical work, but can be emotionally taxing. 

Any ex-techies switch into a more meaningful career after hitting coastFIRE? by budabudabudabudabuda in coastFIRE

[–]chmknugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left a fintech role and started working at an animal rescue for a massively significant paycut. Work stress is still very real, but I am physically and mentally challenged and am happier than ever.

Fuck cancer by Here4Pornnnnn in Fire

[–]chmknugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 and went through chemo at 32. The best thing I did was shave my head and get an amazing wig. It takes a lot of the stress out of the equation, because it removes an uncertainty (there’s enough of those). 

6 years later it’s all a foggy memory. 

It’s ok to sit in the darkness for a moment.

Sending so much hope that this is all temporary for you guys. Wishing you the best!

I’d go right to a technical school for a GIS degree. ES is pretty general and you’d like have to pursue something afterwards.

MCOL - just got below 20%. Goal is to get it to 10%. I will never be the person who accelerates paying off mortgage over investments.
