    What the title says. I am thinking of taking it to the shooting range with 2-3lbs of tannerite under each section, using my AK (Arsenal SGL 21) and sending it sky high blowing it up in little pieces.n

    I swore to myself that I would do something drastic after completing (finally) the exam. I didnt unfortunately, but the simple act of throwing them in the garbage was FANTASTIC!!!!n

    Is everyone going to hate me if I say I'm actually planning on keeping them? Definitely FAR and AUD at least… I already know how the books are organized so it'll be easy to find information in them and I think the FAR book definitely has some good tidbits in there I may want to look up my first year on the job…. just my .02 🙂

    This BEC book is definitely going to be ripped up and used as packing paper for my dishes when I move out of my one bedroom apartment though!!! :Dn

    cpa journey – thanks for the well wishes. unfortunately – i dont know what the key was for passing….i guess just keeping at it. I finally passed BEC on try#7 and i felt equally prepared on each one. I just kept thinking that at some point something had to give…Finally the CPA Gods gave me a hand…n

    This post is something I can only dream about. I don't even want to read it because it is like some unattainable fantasy, like Johnny Depp showing up at my door right now. Yet, I can't help myself. Ahhhhhh, to imagine what I will do with the pile of $h!+ I tote around with me everyday. Burn it? Toss it? Keep it around to remind me of the most challenging thing I have ever tried to accomplish? Passing this exam is possible and I have to keep reminding myself I can do this.

    You “CPA's” are such a tease with this… I can't wait to be in your position. You have earned it! It is going to be sooooooooooo worth it in the end and I can't wait to have such a decision in my life. Enjoy your well-deserved freedom and know you will never have to open that CPA review again!n

    I have all my study materials (Becker and Yaeger) in a plastic storage bin in my closet! Let me tell you that thing is jammed! (It is a decent sized bin, too!) I haven't done anything with them and probably won't. I don't wanna throw them out because those things were a pretty penny! Maybe I will donate them to my work library (once I get my reimbursement check!) loln

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!
