This is my perspective, as well... thank you for sharing.

Take what I say with a grain of salt... Have you considered redefining your definition of the word love? (Or at least taking inventory of what you think love is and assessing whether or not your definition of love is realistic and/or meant to last forever) ... and yet, I'm deadly serious. It appears as though expectations aren't meeting reality... something's gotta give...

"In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip.” In case anyone (other than me) needed a swift kick in the ass.

Don't worry, you're not alone! I really really enjoy finance and accounting ...

My answer was $20.11 w/o rounding. After delving into this problem with a classmate of mine, it appears as though the beginning time (t) for my growing perpetuity was incorrect. He thinks the correct answer is $19.16 and I tend to agree. The good news: I showed all of my steps and will hopefully receive the majority of the points associated with this problem. I'm also pretty confident that I answered the remaining three questions 100% correctly. Also to add, I solved all parts to every other question both algebraically and with a financial calculator. If I'm lucky, my professor will see that I truly understand what I was taught and be nice.... maybe

Believe it or not, this is not a homework question. It was on my finance exam yesterday. I found an answer that is greater than 19, but less than 22. As with most graduate level exams, this was a FOUR question exam, so the answer to this question significantly impacts my grade. And damn it, I want an A! My classmates and I have solved this problem with little to no consistency... I think I've heard of 6 different proposed solutions... yikes.

NOTHING? damn.

Please work this problem and share your answer. Exactly a year from now Company X will have $1 per share in free cash flow from equity. Free cash flow from equity is expected to grow at 10% per year for two years (years 1 - 3) and 2% per year every year thereafter, infinitely. The applicable discount rate is 8%. What is the intrinsic value of the stock today? -- Please treat FCFE as stock dividends for the purpose of solving this problem. HINT: You'll need to understand/use a dividend growth model for a growing perpetuity in order to solve this problem. Please and Thanks.

Agreed. Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.

Ha - I absolutely struggle with maintaining a work-life balance. I have this horrible and yet wonderful habit of giving 200% of myself to whatever I'm doing with my life. If I'm not excelling, I'm not satisified. Heh, time to work.

i support this post. each. and. every. word. This one too.

Thanks for the proofread.

What do you need in a relationship? What do you want? What are you not willing to accept? --- Please discuss.

They actually issue degrees in liberal arts? To the best of my knowledge, state universities in Texas have Colleges of Liberal Arts, with degrees in areas like Sociology, Political Science, Art History, etc. I have a B.S. in Political Science with a minor in Business Administration and I'm currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration. I have worked in commercial real estate as an accounting assistant, commercial property manager, account manager, and accounting manager. At any given time during my 3+ years of employment, I was working as 2 or more of the above listed job functions/roles. All of my accounting knowledge was learned on the job and/or self-taught in free time. The fundamental accounting principles were pretty easy to learn when you look at financial statements on a daily basis... If you like to work hard, you're observant and you can learn quickly I think you can do just about anything you set out to do.

The general consensus among men in relationships (in real life), is that knowing their woman is wearing a matching set all of the time keeps their imagination intrigued. Some of the women who do this have indicated that it makes them feel sexier and often, more confident. Comments?

So, recent pillow-talk has led me to the following wonderment...

My house.

I knew I had THAT coming when I started typing my original post.

Ah, I have one roommate already so all bills are split. I'm looking for another. I really feel like my expenses are pretty low already... I've implemented clear house rules and they are followed for the most part. I've taken the lead on paying the bills and gathering payments from the roommates. Thanks for the input but I've got those bases covered.

I'm absolutely not looking for 'fair', I'm looking for my sanity. It has managed to disappeared. Thank you.

Looking for a bit of semi-serious guidance here... or at least insightful comments I feel like my life is out of control. My room (which I am 100% responsible for) is cluttered and distracting, my house (50% under my control) is semi-messy and not as clean as I would like, and I'm working part-time while attempting a full-time graduate business degree in order to minimize debt. Other areas of my life are suffering, but I won't bore you with the details... There are simply not enough hours in the day for the demands in my life... or at least I feel like this is the case. Working out? ha! Eating healthy? Get in line. Now, I've been "busy" before and I would like to think I do a relatively good job at managing my time, but this schedule is ridiculous. I can manage to juggle 5 balls but not 10 balls. I'm sure everyone can relate, but this is truly the first time I've felt so out of control and actually boxed-in, like there is no good answer, no good solution, like my best option is to understand that this total life chaos is temporary (will graduate in May 2012), learn to deal with it and keep moving forward. I've tried lowering my standards so far as organization and household cleanliness goes, but it just stresses me out more to live in a cluttered, disorganized home. I made decent grades this past fall (3.5 GPA) but I felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water. I was focused more on getting an A and not really on learning the material. Any brilliant words of wisdom? Or should i just suck it up and deal? I could take out another loan to pay for living expense while I'm in school (and ditch the job), but is my mental and physical health (for the next 1.5 years) worth the additional debt? I knew working part-time while attempting a full load of graduate level courses would be tough and I was willing to see if I could tackle both. I would prefer to learn to deal with my situation, but I'm beginning to feel like I've exhausted my creative problem-solving / time management skills... Your advice, criticism, and gentle harassment are all welcome.

Thank you for sharing that.

Absolutely brilliant! www.ideapaint.com
