No offense dude but with your top 0.0000000000000000000000 1% IP routing knowledge (being respecful here) a 140k/y training I thought you would be a little further ahead by now 
Haven't bought a motorized vehicle on credit since 2003... not bragging, just re-enforcing your point which is right on the money.
I love ginger ale.
no offence taken...its MY fault...
back in 2002...i attempted the CCIE and didn't prepare for it...just passed the written and showed up for the lab...i ws too much into partying. Then a landed a job teaching..it ws great $ ($60/hr)..i ws living with my parents..so i had NO expences. If i sometimes taught on the weekends i'd make over 5k(after taxes) every 2 weeks...soo i'd work 1 month and party one month...travel..party..g
oof off at the beach..yanno...when you r living like that..time sorta slips away from ya...i dont regret the time i spent enjoying myself...but at least i got my ass in gear now...
i can go and take up a job making around 120k/yr but i'm sooooooooo close to my CCIE..and ya cant have a job and study for THIS particular test...so might as well sick it out for another 6 months..then home free

and no..i always buy cash...so i never get what i want

always a civic usually..cant even afford a civic right now
