I wasn't surprised when I got to the part where you would be living at home because I felt like I was talking to my oldest the whole time I was reading. I think you will have to agree that there is some similarity between your thinking and that of those in the journal story. Two things pop out, wanting the extra year to study whatever and the lack of stress when studying for the accounting exams. It all sounds very cozy and would need a willing parent to make happen.
The reality for most is that their aid isn't going to cover a 5th year and that they need to work will studying to live and do other similarly stressful things continuously throughout a career.
Are you sure you want to be a CPA? It really won't matter what makes you happy at tax time when you'll need to work 16 hour days at times.
Like with my son, it may take your graduating and going to work with no help from parents to get realistic about what life is about to be like unless you have a large trust fund.
