It took me 4 attempts each to pass BEC, FAR, and AUD. I failed REG 6+ times and I'm still working on it. We will all get there. Don't give up.

I'm not a great test taker and I suspect I may have ADD, but that's no excuse. It'll get it done, it just might take me longer. I used ninja and i75. Both are helpful, but my tutor has really helped more than anything.

Meeeee!!! I’ve had MANY lows along this journey so far. Several fails, but my scores keep increasing. I’ve thought about quitting many times but then I said eff it. I’m gonna get this stupid certification even if I have to die for it. I didn’t invest four and half years into college to not get my stupid CPA.

Love this!!! There are definitely bumps in the road, but we can definitely get this done! It’s possible! We have to stay optimistic, disciplined, and determined to get this done! Wishing you all the best on this journey!

I know 😩. I always think I can get a test done in busy season and then busy season actually hits and that idea goes out of the window. It’s frustrating

I’m curious how much other people with similar incomes save/invest a year; I’m a 24M, making 70K a year in a HCOL city. I saved about $12K in my first year of working out of college, and I feel like that’s pretty good but I could’ve done better. My rent isn’t too pricey, but I went on 3 vacations, go out to the bars frequently, and spend pretty freely on food. Anyone care to share their income and corresponding savings for FIRE?
