I’ve been fantasising about getting certified as a CPA. People don’t believe me when I say this but my childhood (<14) dream was to be an accountant. I was poor and I enjoyed counting all the coins I saved up (that my dad would eventually borrow to pay the loan sharks) and also watched ducktales a lot.

Having run a business for almost a decade, I’ve accumulated a lot of accounting and tax knowledge that I think would be cool to properly certify. Also it would be to re-live a childhood dream.

Gotta get that number #1 lucky dime first - I've heard it helps to pass the CPA exam!

Have you ever done anything else that you always wanted to do?

That can be a feeling all its own :)

Despite (or maybe because of) my upbringing, I’ve had the fortune of mostly doing things I wanted to do. Not exactly as I wanted, but more or less in the general direction.

Which is why I’m now in the position to choose whether to study to be a CPA or go back to work.[0]
