Yea your right. Most CFA guys are not hot. They all remind me of the people you’ll find in engineering departments at college. As for myself i am not hot. I’m just freakin smoking hot. JTLD told me you were pretty hot yourself

Sounds like you and I have the same mentality about things. I’ve never considered myself a blue-blooded finance guy, and I’ve never really surrounded myself with all finance peers. Life’s so much better when you have variety. > It’s interesting that you say that money was never > a topic of conversation.

That’s a good point – I suppose my friends and I are close enough in terms of income where nobody feels left out, and none of us really partake in activities that are so lavish that they would preclude anyone else in the group from participating. But, you’re right, I guess they’re all very motivated in whatever profession they’re in, which is one of the core values that seems to hold people in my group together. > Maybe the issue of wealth becomes less important > the older you get.

I’d be curious to hear what you and others on this forum think. For me, I think it’s important to surround yourself with peers that have similar levels of academic or professional achievement (regardless of what field they’re in). However, as long as my friends have the financial resources to partake in the activities that I enjoy and vice versa, it really doesn’t matter to me how much more or less I’m earning compared to them. In terms of friendships, I value qualities such as generosity, insight, good-heartedness, and just the desire to have fun and live life. Curiously, most of the people I know that are genuinely wealthy are quite laid-back and down-to-earth – if you didn’t know them, you’d probably pass them on the street and think they were just an Average Joe (and actually, among my friends that are most successful, most of them really *do* believe they are just normal people and would like to be treated that way). In contrast, I feel like it’s the people that are faking their wealth or are somehow insecure about themselves who are most inclined to try to prove to the world how rich they are. Usually, the harder they try, the more likely they are to be phony. What do you guys think? Do you guys feel like it’s easy to separate the “real money” from the “pretenders” and “posers”?

Good luck with the CFA exams. Sounds like you’ve also got a good group of friends from high school and it’s great that you’re still able to keep in touch with them.
Now that I think about it some more, level 3 material comes to mind. The way CFA defines wealth - your net worth, assets less liabilities. People who flaunt their ferraries and similar big ticket items aren’t necesarrily wealthy. They could be financing that thing with 5% money down and barely paying off the interest on the loan with their pay checks. But without knowing the person’s financial situation, you can’t really tell if they are wealthy or just posers living off their pay checks week by week hoping shit doesn’t hit the fan. Funny how we just went completely off topic. So to get back on topic, good looking CFA chicks do exist, I know a few that graduated with me. Pics aren’t happening though, don’t try to use my line on me 
^ Pics or it didn’t happen. In all seriousness, there are always a few cuttie proctors.

Thank you in advance.

5’3 is not average. It’s short. And “dirty blonde” isn’t exactly a plus. It’s either mousy or it’s a grown-out dye-job.
^^ LOL yeah 5’3 is definately not average…
Nope, I am not Asian…))) i am Russian!
