I live paycheck to paycheck. I had to sell old college textbooks and my guitar in order to get the $100 to get boson. It makes less financial sense to save $75 (it’s 25% off right now) to go into $300 exam at a significant disadvantage with the likely hood of having to spend another $300 if you fail.

Boson is pretty much insurance that you’ll pass your first try if you use it correctly, and I would say its even more important to people who are in bad financial situations like myself.

If you’re seriously strapped for $75 and there’s no way you can afford it, how are you gonna save $300 for the CCNA? That just sounds like an excuse to me.
