    I promised myself a Bespoke business suit. In the $2000-$3000 range. Yeah, I am a clothes horse. I have even picked out the fabric.

    I am curious as to what else my fellow candidates have promised themselves.

    FAR - 79
    REG - 76
    AUD - 94
    BEC - 77

    DONE! DONE!! DONE!!!

    I promised myself a wonderful day at the range, and I lit up every single book, notepad and flashcard stack with 5.56 and 7.62. It was a fantastic day.

    AUD - 93
    BEC - 80
    REG - 86

    I won't get one immediately, but I'll like to replace my laptop with something like the Surface Pro 3 (I'm hoping someone comes out with something better and cheaper though).

    Good question. I'll reward myself with a better paying job.

    But immediately after the exam, I'll probably have a drink. I'll be numb after 4 hours of intense FAR.

    I bought myself 2 pairs of Crockett & Jones ($600 shoes) after FAR, a Bose soundsystem ($3,500) after AUD. After REG I will probably get my girl a bag (I will give her a budget of up to $3,000). I also normally reward myself with 10 beers at the exam release day.

    My guess is there are lots of non-traditional exam takers posting too. The older we are, the more money we make!

    tomq04: I'm not a grad student or a staff auditor. I was. I am 32 y old, so a little older than most people here, and finally make some €€€€.
