$700 or so to CFA.
$50 to join CFA Society of UK
$100 or so on some iPad apps

That's about it. And yeah, probably saved a bit by not going out as much...although with a little boy at home, it's not like we were going out all that much anyway....

just curious, what kind of job reimburse for CFA exams? equity research? portfolio management?

yodacaia

some companies even give staff 1-2 wk leave before the exam.

$700 paid to CFAI; spent $1,000 on stalla and $800 on schweser. In the end I thought it was a good investment as the exam went really well :-)

I'm a portfolio analyst on a wealth management team, they reimburse if I pass.

My exact costs:

$700 CFAI.
$50 for Elan 11th hour.
$5 for new calculator battery.
$50 for paper/ink costs.
$3 for index cards
$20 parking fee at test location.

$828 total. And I'm 80-90% sure I passed, so I feel it was well worth it.
