Spending money

Last week, I sent away for Becker Review stuff.

Here are the stats.

Website for scheduling in Connecticut:

Phone: 1-800-868-3900
I spoke to a very nice person named Vicky. You can talk to her too if
you want, x2516

Cost: $2765. This is signing up for all 4 parts of the Exam, and
includes the CSCPA discount and the flashcards. I’m having some buyer’s remorse about the flashcards. Hmm… Maybe I shouldn’t have bought them.

It’s official. I will be starting the exam in January. I will start
with Audit. Come join me. Class starts in October in Rocky Hill.
A note about review course: There are many. Most range from about $700 – $1,500. These are non-interactive packets. Some have online instruction. I picked Becker simply because they have actual class time. I’ve been to seminars put on by Becker. The instructors seem like they care.
4 Programs to choose from

There’s also Wiley.

If anyone has gotten material from other review curses, I would love to hear about it. Was it good? Was it bad?

Becker costs twice as much. It’s a tough call. Think about what works best for you. I’ll let you know how it is when I start class in October.

Totals So Far:
Money: $2775
Time: 1 hour

In other news… I found this extremely cheesy video from the 1950s.

Ledger Lad: Golly, I hope its asset depreciation!
I can’t wait to get the CPA secret decoder ring…
