I got to question six and when asked ” when do you know you have to much money on credit cards ” and the answers being provided didn’t contain ’ can’t pay them in full and leave no revolving balance ‘.  Sorry Christian science monitor, I call bull shit.

Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here

That question was retarded.  I try to put everything on my card so I can get points / rewards.

Welcome airline miles and tax reporting, but for crying out loud if you are paying cc interest on even a buck, you are in trouble.  btw, this has happened to me several times in my life….but it always bothered the s#!t out of me.

Waste of time, baby quiz; someone likes stroking their ego.

Being Born Wealthy > Being Jewish or WASPY > Born Pretty > Top 5 MBA > CFA > Avg MBA > Born middle class > Born lower class > Born in crack house > Working in IT but looking to switch to buyside

It would be pretty sad if any of us didn’t score in the top 3rd.  What would that say about us and/or the CFA curriculum?
