Hey Kyle,
Your goals sound interesting and it seem that you know for sure what you want to do after you graduate from baruch, but I am just curious: Do you plan on traveling first, then going for your CPA, or the opposite?
I would suggest that you pass your CPA then take a vacation. Wouldn't it feel much better to not stress about an exam during your trip. And preparing right after you graduate would ensure that you focus.
I like how you plan to travel right after you graduate. I'll probably do the same thing. I would do it, just take my mind off everything, then come back and do whatever it is I have to do...like take the CPA in your case. Your savings plan for a house sounds pretty good, but do you think that saving half your salary is something you'll realistically be able to do? Personally I don't think I'd be able to save anything for a long time, but I guess that depends on the person.
Your goal is simple but solid as it is a common goal of all CPA accountant want to reach.
But in your mind do you have any thought besides CPA accountant which is wild and exciting? In my mind accounting job is dull.
Also can you teach me how (tactics) to save half the salary?
: )
After reading a couple of blogs and including, we all seem to have similar goals graduating from Baruch, get a good job, and then go for graduated school. One of my supervisor back in the days once told me if you ever plan to go back to school, you should do it quick before you just get lazy and get old and don't ever want to go back anymore. He got his masters at Pace University dealing with Finance I believe. And traveling is wonderful but so expensive. I think you should start working alittle first to save money and then travel.
Hi Kyle,
Your goals and plans are simple, but seems to very straight ahead. However, before being stuck with mortgage payment for your dream house, I feel you should spend a portion of your pay check for yourself such as hobby, travelling, or whatever improves yourself. I believe that you have plenty of time putting half of your salary into mortgage payment for you and your family. From just after you get married ^^=
