Interesting. I had never heard about these. Was that helpful at all, or mostly a loss of $400?
I think you could pay out of pocket, but that's going to be a few thousand. It might be worth it if you can somehow get that amount of money saved up. Consider what you will get for that in return, and judge if it's worth the expense. Since I'm in the USA, I had to pay out of pocket, and it was $900 after shopping around a lot. Given the impact it has had, I would gladly have paid more than double for the assessment.
Yay!! That's so nice to hear (actually, read). In case you haven't already, take a look at our the helpful resources post linked in the sidebar.
