Paul took a little trip earlier this December (over my birthday) and came back with a huge certificate stating he was officially a FSA (for those of you not fluent in the language of actuaries, that is a Fellow in the Society of Actuaries)...(for those of you not having a clue what a Fellow in the Society of Actuaries is, just know, I am a happy happy happy wife)!!!
He can even sign his name with little letters following it.
Paul, FSA, MAAA
FSA meaning, of course, that he's a fellow....MAAA meaning, well actually I have no idea. That's just what his work emails say. Honestly, up until a few years ago, I had no idea that anyone besides doctors had little letters following their name. One day, Paul brought me home this financial guys business card. It said something like this.
Bob Smith, LMA, CERA, JJU, FJS, JA, BS, LB, TLC, BLT, BCB, PTW, TSD, JLA, FJS
Really, I'm not exaggerating. Do the little letters even mean anything if there are a hundred following your name?
Anyway, I am so proud of Paul and his great accomplishment and so relieved and happy that he is finally done with those darn actuary tests!! I have only one request, if any of you need to send us a formal invitation, please address the envelope to:
Fellow and Mrs. Paul ***
Good job Paul. I love you!!!
Signing out,
Rachel, WIFE, MOM
