Are Robo-Advisers are a real legitimate threat to the wealth management business? I have already have had discussions on other forums and with fellow colleagues with mixed answers but just curious to see what my misc bros think. Do any of you use them over a traditional financial adviser and why...

In the recent months, I have become interested in finance and banking fields. Everyone recommends me CFA, but I feel a CMA before CFA will prepare me better for CFA later as I have no experience or knowledge of finance and accounting fields. Am I right, any thoughts?

This guy came highly recommended from a family friend, and I trust their judgement. I figured I'm in a good spot now financial to make my money work for me in the future, both short and long term. I'll let you know it goes brahs.

One of my best friends just paid off his moms 300k mortgage and did it mostly from reselling things on Amazon and Ebay. He's been doing it full time for 7 years. Like most hustlers he started out going to Pawn shops and thrift stores and reselling sneakers and video games and was making shyt I...

I made a petition for this a while back and it kept getting deleted by a mod. I had a lot of signatures for it. Glad to see it happen!

So I'm still confused af when exactly a payment is due... Say my statement period is from 1/29/2016 - 2/29/2016, and the unpaid balance on my card is quoted as being due on 3/22/2016. Do I have until 3/22/2016 to pay off the balance? Or does interest immediately start accruing, day-by-day? ...

Misc, I will be separating from the Army in the next couple months after 4 years of service. I have no idea or better yet, I have doubts about what I want to major in. I am a combat medic in the Army right now and have learned a really good amount of medical knowledge. I feel like I will be...

Both look good but I don't know. Help me decide bros.

I'm 2 months from completing BBA Finance. Finance isn't a love of mine, but I do well, especially when it's more math-heavy finance like risk management. One of my professors offered to recommend me to some financial institutions when I graduate... what do I do? I'm worried I'll potentially...

jqvKjsIxT_8 Pretty old video, but can always watch it and learn something, or have a better understanding of things currently.

Maybe it could help others from making the same mistake.

Close to graduating and I really have no idea which field to choose. Share your experiences/ knowledge about good Master's Degree choices and career paths for an Econ Major.

seems like a good subsection to ask, Smart brahs out there.. what are some of your study methods? what tips do you have? on average how many hours do you spend studying?

Ok so I don't know my exact score, but I know it's pretty bad (I got denied for a checking account at a credit union, so I could only open up a savings account) I messed it up during my young school years (bank accounts being shut down due to over-drafting, gym memberships being cancelled due to...

What is the worst Excuse you have heard for someone missing work or being late?

I just started using this app to trade stocks and its saving me a lot of money. Originally I began trading stocks with TD Ameritrade but they charge $9.99 for every trade. So if you're just starting out with less than $1000 to trade with, those fees add up. Robinhood only charges you $0.02 when...

So I received the notice of layoff this morning (again). Is there anyone who has been laid off multiple times in their 20s, and how they handled it when looking for a new job/explaining to prospective employers why you were released twice?

So I have a philosophy test tomorrow and the professor gave out a study guide. I honestly haven't gone to the class much so I don't really know how to complete the study guide. Here are the questions that need answered. If anyone can answer these questions with real answers I will love you forever...

I've seen a lot of people tell you not to major in supply chain management as an undergrad, but I don't see why. What are your thoughts?

Alright, So current situation isn't great due to some poor decision making the last few years. Do not have my license at the moment. The logistics of getting to and from a job that pays $10/hr or less wouldn't be worth it since I'd likely have to be UBERing. I just started school again and I...
