Hi all

I don’t mean to sound flip, but is this possible? I nearly 48 now, and this test looks almost impossible to pass if you can’t devote a solid 30 hours a week to quality studying, for months, if not years….

Am I wrong?

Well, I have a dog, cat, house, cupcake business, sell Mary Kay,and work full-time at a hospital. I am 50. I started studying for the CPA exam seriously two years ago and have now passed two parts. You can do anything you set your mind to. Good luck!!

Husband, 2 dogs, a cat, 4 turtles, 2 leopard geckos, and too many fish to count. Oh, yeah – I also have 7 kids.

You got this! It is short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. You may not feel like you can do it, but almost anything can be done for a short time. Look at the goal, and picture yourself meeting it. What will your life be like? How will it improve it for your wife and children? This is what will keep you going.

Good luck!
