Just got another failing score back tonight for AUD of the cpa exam. 72.
I want to write more and continue this story and start new stories but with these fails I'm literally bleeding to death. Forget about the retake fees which are about 300 bucks each section and I've already done about 6 failed retakes of AUD and FAR, every month I haven't passed I'm hemorrhaging my social life, career, long distance relationship is getting strained, and basically my 20s are getting crushed and at 26 other 22 year olds from my university have already passed me career wise. Not great. So far I've only passed one section out of four, was really hoping on the good news tonight but looks like it's back to the grinder... I've been working on this exam for two years already while other people only need 4 months. I haven't been able to check social media without feeling like shit since 2016. Checked some stuff recently and it's all just university classmates working at top companies or getting hbs/wharton offers...
This is a really shitty situation to be in, I wouldn't wish this upon anyone, and my hand is forced with tonight's score release so I can't write for the time being. Hope you guys understand. I have so much pressure to pass, my family's financial situation got hit extremely hard during covid, everything is a mess, and I'm still here failing exams I should've passed ages ago.
Sorry.

It's okay. Hang in there. Keep your focus on that front first.
And good luck.
Focus on your studies, fingers crossed that days get sunnier for you.
Listen man, I just discovered this story and I am in love with it. But your future is always the most important, the fact that you are able to keep on keeping on is commendable in and of itself, so don't give up. I wish you godspeed on the next exam, and if you ever start updating again, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be reading. Like someone else already wrote life comes first, thanks for posting an update for us as well. Goodluck man!
CPA? Are you in Canada? ...always nice to see fellow Canadians around.
Anyway, you do you, and take whatever time you need to pass your tests / get your life in order. It took me until I was 30 to get a decent job (uni drop out), but now, at 36, I'm livin' on easy street. Take care of your home life first, and earn the time needed to pursue your creativity w/o having to sacrifice your quality of life.
And, don't let the success of other get you down. The only thing I'd suggest: take a long, hard think about what kind of work you'll be doing when you pass. If you like the idea of doing it full time, even if you just think "this is better than other sh** jobs I could do", then press on until you succeed. When I was in uni, and got an internship actually _doing_ the thing I was learning, I realized I absolutely hated it, pivoted to software engineering, and never looked back. Sure, I "wasted" 4 years learning a bunch of robotics crap I'll never need, but finding a vocation I actually enjoy enabled me to pour enough attention into it to succeed.
Good luck!
Get back to your writing when it's convenient for you. :-)
Its okay. Good luck buddy, and don't forget to take care your health
Life comes first.. stories can always come later down the line. Best of luck to you.
It's been a while. Hope you're doing ok and your life is in order
Good luck and hope you succeed soon, I honestly can't relate with the other people having better career etc. since I'm not competitive (which is bad), and my social life isn't so good. I don't really pay attention to others so much, regardless if they are university classmates unless they are face to face with me. I only get conscious of those when it comes to me directly, from family saying it to me, friends or coworkers etc., but well, I mostly avoid those since I get a headache and feel not so well if I keep it in my mind. Ah, I do envy those that are better than me, financially or others.
Hoping for you success.! Good luck.! Stay safe.!
Stay strong we'll pray for your success
