CPA's: How did you reward yourself for passing the exam?

I passed my exam a few months back and want to reward myself. My Christmas bonus is imminent, and I'm seriously considering spending it on an amazing, used Goodall I played recently. So what did you guys do to commemorate the event?

Strangely enough, I didn't do anything (also passed several months ago). I've been meaning to do something to celebrate and it just never ended up happening. A Goodall would be amazing, but I'm just happy to have a job - no bonus for me.

There's no need for my CPA to "reward himself" - I do it at the end of every month for him...

I tilted my head as I walked out the door of the exam and let it all that info just slide right out onto the street. Then I felt a lot better; that was a reward in and of itself.

Exam passage is the minimal requirement.
Cook some books, and see how good you really are.







oh, and congratulations.

when I passed my CFA, I just went in and asked for a raise.
I don't recall buying myself anything in particular, but it's a great idea.
congrats, and go for it!

I bought me a brand new blue Pentel .05 mechanical pencil with a package of lead refills for $2!
