To build a passive income, we need to own properties that generate a regular income for us with minimal involvement after they have been created.

How Cash Flow Investments Change Your Life
Over the past few months, I have changed my investment strategy significantly. As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I am now investing in several dividend-producing assets to see which investment produces the highest return. I call it a challenge, but it is ultimately a tool for analysis. Essentially, I will track my progress so that both you and I can be better informed investors going forward.

I plan to update everyone on the status of this challenge every month (mid-month), so be looking for that update soon.… Continue Reading

After realizing that my dream of financial independence is still years away, I realized that I need to come up with a game plan to increase my passive income and diversify my investments at the same time. Passive income is important to me because it will be one of the ways to supplement my income and slowly transition into either self-employment, part-time work, or early retirement. As my passive income increases, my requirement to make more money from my day job decreases. The next question then is how to increase my income the fastest way. It’s hard to know what the best use of my money is and where I should be directing my money, so I figured I would make it a challenge.… Continue Reading
