So two bloggers have recently blogged about having a bonfire after finishing all the tests. My coworkers and I actually did this! Let me tell you, it was AMAZING! We went down to the beach and just burned ALL of our study materials (this also takes much longer than you’d think). SOOOO freeing. I’d say it was just as great as seeing that last passing score and absolutely recommend it.

We did get a lot of odd looks as we stood on the beach, in our work clothes, buring boxes of documents. More than one person asked if we were destroying evidence =)

Good luck to those of you taking tests!

B - 11/10: 79
A - 10/10: 81

aww I wish I even know ONE other person (and how to get the permits to do it at the beach!) but my plan is to burn all of my books in my fire pit in the backyard, have champagne in the fridge already for whenever I find out I am done, and sparkling apple cider for the kids. We are going to go outside, toast mom being a normal person again. Then probably go back in the house and watch our Red Sox 🙂

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

We had a mini bonfire on St. Patrick's Day where we burned my outdated FAR materials as I was waiting on my BEC score. We had s'mores, green Kool-Aid, green beer – it was so much fun!!

I can't wait to burn the rest. I can almost smell the smoke….
