If you really want the CCIE, I would do this if I were you:
1) pony up and the money and get yourself a home rack with everything you
need.
I spent about 15k to build my home lab. It is a small investment and I did
it when
I was a graduated student with no job. I borrowed money from my parents to
do
this. Get the rack ready. I think R&S equipments is cheaper than Security
or
voice. But then again, you can CCM and Unity on vmware so voice maybe
cheaper.
2) If you have a job, take off six months and study full time. You will
study 16
hours every day for six months.
3) Take the lab. There will a very high probability that you will pass. It
worked for
me.
Finally, get a job that pays over 100k to repay the loan in #1. It also
worked in
my situation.
Good luck in your future success !!!!!
