Are you telling me you’re not thirsty for Sugar Bear?

Stupid Becker jokes. Peter and the other main instructor Tim Gearty (terrible lecturer, but I digress) have a little shtick. Tim is the “old man” and Peter makes jokes about him being in a nursing home, etc. Peter is the “young gun” who likes to party and Tim calls him Sugar Bear all the time. In reality, they’re around very similar in age.

He’s a popular instructor for the Becker CPA Review course. Becker is the CPA study materials Big4 usually provides so everyone on that journey knows Mr. Olinto

I got my post-CPA coffee with him a few years back. Best. Thing. Ever.

Think he will still do the coffee deal post rona? I still need to cash in on that one

Are you joking? I’m shocked that a PWC is asking this. I thought for sure it was a creative director.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
