Not a passion but started studying for the CFA 3. FML.
Right there with ya but CFA lvl 2, its rough man. But this self-torture will hopefully pay off in the long run.
Yea... I no longer look forward to weekends. I go home, work out, eat, study and its bed time.
You probably have mountains of materials on CFA2 but don't overlook accounting and Derivatives. Pension accounting is disgusting and the other topics arn't too easy either. It might be because I don't have background in accounting or derivatives but hit those early so you can hit them one more time before the exam.
Already started? Damn, i'm starting mine in Jan
This is what I'm working on as well, but a word of caution: this is a long, winding road, and R is just a shiny object you find at the beginning of the journey. Have no hope, ye who enters...
Oh I'm sure, I've only just started applying it, my first finance application was for my statistics class. I plotted change in EPS against stock price to try and prove a correlation for an assignment. Pretty basic use but I can already see it's an incredibly powerful tool, and also just read about Hadoop and that's already another can of worms, good to be learning though.
I've done the same, initially started with Python, now I'm working solely off of Pinescript (somewhat similar to a loose language like Javascript/Python). I don't know how useful R would be but I find that my script mainly picks things up that I don't have the time to watch for.
Scuba diving and boxing lessons
Co-writing a tv script
I need to take scuba lessons
Really want to get into boxing or mma but can't find a gym close enough to the office. The drawbacks of not being in NYC I guess
This guy is awesome for learning boxing. I've been boxing for over 5 years and still watch all his videos.

Focus on technique, look at pro boxers and try to emulate them. I've seen guys train for like 2 years and still have horrible technique. You can always apply power whenever you want.
I get what you are alluding to, but as someone who was in the amateur system for 10 years plus, emulating someone like Lomachenko, Pernell Whitaker or prime RJJ is easier said than done. I would just focus on the fundamentals – crisp punches, head movement and footwork.
Meh most of them are McDojos. Catering to kids, and soccer moms.
Working on my writing and my photography, hoping to parlay them both into something for fun and money as I work my way towards semi-retirement.

I need to take 40lbs off my frame and 15 strokes off my handicap
start with eliminating 3 putts, penalty shots and two chips.
How are you going about learning R? I would definitely like to learn that as well.
Currently, I'm trying to put a podcast together
