I originally wanted to be a high school English teacher. I am so grateful life didn't go as planned. I'm think I'm much happier as an FA than I would have been teaching.

Read and invest. Basically the same thing I do now for the most part I’d just rather have enough funds for myself to not need clients (except for maybe a select few).

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
