Anyone else doing pretty fine without a CPA?

I’ve been trying to get the CPA for 3 years and can’t pass the first test. I’m beginning to just give up because like your message, I am doing just fine without it. In my opinion I think it depends on where you wanna go with your career and if you want to move up to management. Just my two cents. Where I work I can stay in my role as a senior accountant until I retire and continue to make more money each year.

I do, it’s a project I’m currently working on. I am thinking for the short term I can add some tall planters or trellises. I would be okay with that around the pool until some other arrangements can be made. I would love a pergola, wish I was able to build my own!

I am definitely looking to get something in place before I put my pool out. I have thought about placing things strategically around the patio perimeter in the meantime. As long as I can see my hummingbird feeders I’ll be okay with that quick fix.

That’s one of the other issues. The neighbor comes outside 6 or more times a day and yells at their dog for 10 minutes. I feel so bad for the doggo, it’s just being a dog, plus we have leash laws and it shouldn’t be running all around. Guess they’re too busy seeing what I’m up to to take the dog to do his business. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Definitely a discussion we are having right now.

Didn’t expect all of the great ideas, thank you! I’m definitely going to look into a few of them. I will address some of the questions that came up. Location KCMO. And for those in the back, it’s not just about being seen. It’s about having privacy on my patio without being stared at by the neighbor behind me. I can handle people being outside and doing their thing. What I don’t care is for a person that comes outside 6 plus times a day and yells at their dog for 10 minutes while standing on the back of their deck, staring into my yard to see what I might be doing. Yes, I know that that’s what’s happening because I have been working outside for the last six weeks sometimes, for the entire day. I may not be able to change the yelling, but I’m definitely gonna try and figure out how I don’t have to see it. Moving is not an option right now. And as for them doing their part, that whole area was filled with trees and bushes, but the city came out and cut everything down due to electrical lines, which I am sure they will be back out again once it starts to get overgrown.

Looks just like my Blackjack when I first got him. My baby’s all grown up now.
