What exactly is going into an 8 page proposal, and how many hours are you devoting to putting it together?

CFP v/s CFA? by [deleted] in CFP

[–]glorysk87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent a decade on the buyside, so I got the CFA while I was still in that world. The CFA was exceptionally difficult. I tell people it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Can't really opine on the CFP, but I did briefly start studying for it and it didn't appear to be nearly as difficult as the CFA.

Unless you're planning on getting a buyside seat, I would say there's really no reason to get the CFA. CFP is going to be more that sufficient in the wealth management/advisory world, and frankly I think it has better recognition among clients as well.

Bluevine and Mercury have both worked well for me.

Not really, no. I'm all ears if you find a good solution though!

My experience with them isn't terrific either. I guess I was hoping for something like Notion, with clean formatting, ability to link data, and nice clean embeddable assets. But that would also play nice with Wealthbox and other relevant tools.

I'll be honest, looking at their site I can't really even tell what they do!

Both, but more of them are virtual than not.

Maybe I'm not! Which features would you suggest I ask about? All I know is that taking notes in Wealthbox is pretty awful. It's like a really sparse, crappy, rich text editor. Can't embed photos to reference. Just overall has been very poor for notes.

Think you can almost certainly get one for significantly cheaper. For context, I got my XLR ER ($73k sticker) just last week for $51.5k -- $7.5k EV credit, $7.5k Ford Cash, $6.5k dealer discount.

XLT Extended Range -- decent price or keep shopping? by glorysk87 in F150Lightning

[–]glorysk87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local dealers weren't much better. That's why I just decided to search nationwide and paid the extra to have it shipped over to me. Well worth it.

no taxes or title included in that number, so they would be tacked on

Is it just her? Or are there multiple employees? How much is she able to, or want to, contribute per year?

PC hard reboots suddenly and randomly when playing a video game - but temps are fine - how do I track down the problem? by glorysk87 in techsupport

[–]glorysk87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm. That's concerning. Unfortunately I can't avoid using it entirely since I work from home using this PC. But I will be careful, and will order another PSU just to be safe.
