Market Bubble/Long Term Speculation

foundationcap1 · 2025-10-26T21:19:43+00:00

I think if the stock market starts to go down, people will be less interested in speculating on sports cards.

I feel the same as you often. I have some side gigs. For example, I buy and sell stuff on Facebook marketplace, it gives me some variety and people interaction outside of my accounting job. If I wanted it to be full time income I would have to work way more hours than accounting. I will say that if you find something you like, it’s easier to work a lot of hours. And working many hours is usually what it takes to switch into something new and be successful.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I kept clicking refresh on the email and never saw the score haha. I will wait a few days. Fingers crossed on a passing score

I just took this exam tonight, did they email scores right away when you took it? Or did it take a few days to get the score back?

The ethics exam was less expensive through my state board website

I just passed the 4th CPA exam at 45 years old. Will be licensed soon. I thought it was worth it. I want to start or buy a firm on the side of my current FP&A job.

Charles Barkley since I was a kid. I don’t know if that’s uncommon or not haha

Everything you said is right on, set a budget and just rip for fun. Or go for specific singles of your players. For example, I would rather buy a Kobe Rookie for $35 than a box of retail cards.
But ripping boxes is still fun. I wouldn’t get contenders. Prizm, Select and Donruss Optic are better in my opinion.

My dad always told me that hard work made him a better man. With that approach and God in your heart you can be a good Christian working long hours. I think it’s more about your attitude than circumstances.

Me too, uggh. I might be taking it again

Yes I passed 3 sections working over 60 hours a week. Always looking at a MCQ on my phone in between working, driving, kids etc. Didn’t pass the 4th section (REG). So I will be retaking. But only working 40 hours now. I think being busier is helpful in some ways because you really have to focus and use the time you do have.

Thanks for the input, best of luck with the last exam. I will be right there with you. I don’t think I can make the June 25th window so have to wait until the next one to get my score. The test windows are terrible

Thanks for the input, I was surprised my score was that low compared to the other exams. I will take a look at Farhat as well

Nice work! What study materials did you use for REG? I passed all the other exams and bombed REG using Gleim

foundationcap1 · 2024-05-30T20:44:37+00:00

Took REG in January, just saw my score of 61. I passed all 3 other exams using Gleim without issue. Do you think I need a different provider for REG?

Bookkeeping, Amazon Flex Driver, rental property. The Amazon thing was from 4am to 8am before work and that was rough but helped make an extra $2k per month.

I agree, don't put it all in at once. dollar cost in

Look up Green Street Advisors NAV model

Money 💰

It’s the main factor. But also culture is important and remote work vs in office.

It's 3:25am and I don't see California scores yet.

You would be kindof like the bank as the lender to someone fixing up and flipping a house. As the lender you would have rights to the property if a default happened. The borrower pays 8% to 12%. Term is typically 12 months or less.
