what study guides?


And I've done over 60 hours of lectures, I'm not cheating shyt. My main issue is the question format and trying to figure out what the question is asking.. the BEST choice bullshyt

I didn't even feel like it was hard. If they had gave me 5 more questions I could've passed.

I would like to know what you chose to data dump.
I have two CSA+ study guides and I'll pm to you, those are what I used.
You didn't pass the test, I would suggest in the future, that moving forward if you fail, look at what you can do better instead of blaming the test.

I did.... it was a lil bit of everything. I wasn't blaming the test, I was blaming the wording and the "tricks" they try instead of flat out asking you wtf they want. I would get impatient with reading paragraphs for hours

But I've taken certs like that before. Microsoft certs were similar

Got into a little fender bender a while back.

Wasn't my fault so the other party was at fault.

Went to a claims adjuster today. $771 for repairs.

Talk my boy. He said $33 and some lunch.

Net gain: +$730. Car is already at 194k miles. No point in using all that money on fixing the bumper when it's largely cosmetic. Nice little October surprise.

:ld:

At what point in time does get skills for skills to be competitive in the market not make sense. I'm a firm believer in the notion that 'No Knowledge is wasted' but there has to be a point where you're just spinning your wheels.

When it doesn't make financial sense for you, that is the only time I can see you needing to scale back.
IF you can afford it, I can't see it ever being a negative.

Unless it is something you can actively apply or leads to something (cert, degree, etc) you could argue it may not be worth the investment. Learnings never a bad thing. I think it's important to focus your energies when when you are younger (instead of trying to learn everything about everything) but important to stay current when you get older (easy to be complacent).

Man...a lot of smoke in mirrors.

Was chillin with some of my boys over the weekend and it's crazy, the dudes that you see out there "living the life" ain't really got it as they claim to have. Fresh clothes, nice cars, linked in with all the parties and moves but with no assets.

Dudes with more debt than their total gross income. At 23 at that.

Never compare yourself with others, but always learn from others actions. Decide what you want or at the very least what you don't want.

Anyone here start off the week well. Hitting multiple personal goals but when Friday and the weekend rolls around, you take your foot off the pedal a bit. Weekend flies by and then you never knocked out your full week goals.

I'm getting more and more excited about this my Nigeria pivot.

It's good because I have an idea of the move after my next move.

Also would be good for me to "detox" from my current environment for a while.

Vision. That principle is so key to success. I'm 23 now, but I'm slowly but surely seeing the bigger picture. Just the belief in what I can be 4-5 years from now is so exciting. It's given me a lot of confidence to push things forward.

I'm now really excited to network and take charge of all opportunities that rise up.

I'm just ready now :wow:

After expenses and 401k and everything I have like 5k a month leftover for "savings"

I know alotta bruhs in here might think that's a lot

But I live in la, and get depressed I'll never be able to afford my own house. Saving 60k a year ain't enuf to get a down payment , esp if I wanna start a fam and have kids.

I'm hoping my salary increase a lot more or I can get supplemental income streams
