Yeah that is what I need your wife (boss) and my wife (boss) teaming up on
me.
Next thing you know my CCIE lab is for sale on e-bay the whole kit for a
song-and-dance. :>(
On a serious note it is All about ROI, you know that the more
experience/certs you have the more money you can make. Also most of the
stuff you buy can be tax deductable if purchased with the intent of
furthering your career. (You get so much per year tax credit) Also I donate
alot of stuff to the local library which is another deduction. ( Have
someone inventory it with the prices, say list price on a book you donate
and have the person sign it). You can get 50% percent purchase price back,
ex. A sybex CCNA study guide for 49.95 will net you a twenty five dollar tax
deductable donation. And the libabry is more than happy to receive these
kind of materials. So save your reciepts and donation inventories and bring
them to your tax man you will be plesently surprised. You can't resell the
testing software or the czone labs and subscription but any hardware you buy
you will get back your money if you decide to sell it later. Ex the PA-A1-
OC3MM and NM-16A cards I bought last month for 1,000$ will easily sell for
that much or more on e-bay after I pass my lab. So really it is an
investment not an expense. I recently put about 2000$ on ABIZ at 81/2 it is
currently 41/4 so I am going to see a better return on the cards than the
stock short term. If you explain this to your wife you may be surprised at
the cooperation you recieve, if not just tell her "Trust me in a year or two
you'll be able to buy all the shoes you want" :>)
