not recently, just wanted to start an adult convo and gauge where people are at as far as views of money. im one of those people that takes alot of pride in my job, and actually love my job. To me annuities, playing the market, selling life and mortgage protection is like a game for me. its a rush. the downs are very down and the highs are super high....and i love every minute of it. money makes me happy besides the actual dollar amount, its the fist pump when you win. and sometimes it can be a zambrano momement when your off your game.

as far as my old sig, it is my favorite movie, it inspires me. when i am on a loser i pop that it to get motivation.

What exactly does an actuary do?

Music, sports, and friends basically is my happiness so I guess you could say it does since you have to buy equipment for competitive sports and you have to buy instruments

Grinder,

What exactly does an actuary do?

By defenition an actuary asseses the financial ramifications of future risk.

In insurance, they price policies and set reserves usually.

Very similar to what sabr people do with baseball, but with insurance, employee benefits, pension plans, mergers and acquisitions, etc.

Most people understand it as "the guy from Along Came Polly" haha.

State Farm is a great company to work for that was my first choice when I first started researching companies.
