Leap Day: Financial Pros and Cons

1 Leap Year 2024 equal to 366 opportunities seen through a hole in ripped blue paper.

2024 is a leap year, an event that happens every four years so that our calendars will be synchronized with the solar calendar. This accounts for the fact that the earth's complete orbit is actually 365 and ¼ days. Leap day means having an extra 24 hours of... well, everything, including time to think about your finances. 

Whether it's making an additional contribution or just re-evaluating your investment strategy, use this extra day to its fullest potential. After all, it's not every year you get a whole extra day! Time is money, and this year you get 24 more hours. Spend them wisely.
