We’re losing an hour this weekend in the U.S. thanks to daylight saving time. 😂 But it made me think, what did you gain this week? Maybe some progress in your job search, a small win, a good conversation, or honestly just surviving for another week. Curious to hear what’s one good thing that happened for you this week?

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?

TIA
