Hang in there, it will all be worth it! In my experience, the study materials are key. I gave up an entire football season's worth of Saturdays attending a prep course, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
An old mentor of mine shared with me that after he passed the exam, his father said 'now you'll never starve'....that said, there were only 13 FASB's when he got his license
