Planning to start preparing for PMP. Almost every article I read on Google said it's a difficult exam. Any tips on study plan that worked, considering a 2 month timeline of 2 hours every day preparation?

About to start studying too. Buy PMP exam app about $40 and just practice with that. The book comes with the PMI membership anyways. How do you get the 40 required hours to sit for the exam? I am struggling with that piece

You can basically attend any course that states it gives you credit. I attended a live instructor-led course to amass the 40 hours. Note that you also need project management hours (and to have passed through all the project’s phases)

Thoughts?

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
