@AmyBwants2passtheCPA..My advice-dump your fiance…you will have more study time, more money, and more sleep too.haha..I will never understand why people get married…lol..
My fiance makes over 4 times what I make :p corp securities attorney in biglaw…who started off as a CPA….imagine that. He's insanely gifted tho, passed his CPA exam in 4 months, while working full time at big4 firm, and he still managed to go out every weekend (this was before I met him, in his “wilder” days).
Planning this wedding while concurrently doing CPA has been my worst idea to date. Should have waited to get married….but I need to put in a few yrs at big4 before I start family planning 🙂 Marriage is beautiful if you share the same values 🙂
LOL @ CPATerminator – I was just trying to be encouraging…
Amy – Thank you for the encouragement! Good luck with FAR; just remember the CPA exam isn't everything! It sounds like you already know that, though! Congratulations on getting married!!!
I gave myself two months for Audit and honestly I found myself questioning my mind towards the end. Too much time IMO. I know that sounds crazy. I just signed up for BEC for May 29th, wanted to do the 31st but all the test centers were full, there's only TWO for the ENTIRE Everett/Seattle/Tacoma area, that boggles my mind. Thought prometric would be everywhere. Oh well. I am on B2 and see no problem getting all this down by the 29th. Ahh here's the catch: I dont have a job and I'm single (what a winner right?) haha so time is not a problem its using it wisely. Sometimes ill spend 10 hours in the library but wont feel that good about my study day, and other days ill spend 3 hours and feel like I learned WAY MORE than on the 10 hour day. Ugh frustrating. Also having taken Aud and pretty much winging the whole thing I feel more prepared on the second test in regards to time allocation and strategy. This all goes out the window when I start FAR studying FAR June 1st. That book sitting on the corner of my desk dwarfs the other 3.. 🙁
