Having our first kid at 37 would like to be done when the nugget goes off to college. Probably do something part-time at that point.

I plan to retire from corporate life within the next 5 years and take my 2 side-business full time + trading.

Same! That’s the dream.

Maybe 20? I don’t want to be working when I’m 55-60

Till I become a grandma. That's the day I quit and then cuddle nonstop. 😍

My goal is to work full time till I'm about 52, when my youngest is about to go to college. That's solely due to massive uncertainty over future college costs, otherwise my plan would be to work full time till around 48/49.

Public college will be higher CAGR because it is growing from a lower base and more variable also relies on state support. I plan for private college and will have more than enough if my kids go public.

If all goes well, retire at 40.

If I enjoy the company and the team I work for with good WLB, then I’ll continue with my career.

18. 22-40 then FI/RE. 7 more years...

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
