Luke, that's fantastic that you're starting your CFA, congratulations on the decision. I have the credential and it served me well in both my investing and my career, you won't regret it
Not sure how I stumbled into this old post, but it reminds of the newsletter of an author I like, Alastair Humphreys. His newsletter is free, but you can pay to support it. Here's how he describes it:
"I am experimenting with a weird model, making payment for this newsletter optional. In other words, it will remain free for everyone to read and enjoy as usual.
But if you'd like to pay for it in order to help me continue to write newsletters and books, then you can do so on Patreon here, paying whatever you like for as long or short a time as you like.
Needless to say, I'm extremely grateful to any generous nutters who opt to pay for something that they can receive for free! It's not a transaction so much as a contribution that helps everyone. It's the difference between being a patron and a customer. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea. We'll see how it goes."
Yeah I got a few new subs from the Idea Brunch piece. Not sure if refunds are pro-rated daily or how substack/stripe do it but these new subscribers should receive basically a 99-100% refund.
I took all 3 levels of CFA. IMO, it does not help you become a better investor. Maybe worth it if you're looking to be hired by someone who values the credential, but I wish I could get those hours back
