My last five years as a dividend investor have been quite astounding. I went from earning less than a dollar a month to $2,100/monthly. This is a story of compound interest. If you do something good consistently, you'll have excellent results. But to become a dividend investor, you must start from the finish and work your way backward. What is your dream retirement? How much money do you need coming in passively? That's your final goal; now, all you...

I love income investing; it has changed my life in ways I am still discovering. I divide income investing into six different types. Today, I want to talk about my favorite type of income investing: closed-end funds. CEFs can provide a consistent monthly income that can slowly replace your employment paycheck. It is difficult for most people to invest for income instead of trying to get rich. However, CEFs may be your ticket to freedom. Good Luck!...

A recession is in the works; thus, we must begin to plan our strategy carefully. There are many ways to overcome a recession, but the primary method is to make more money. USDC, or United States Dollar Coin, is a stablecoin in the world of cryptocurrencies. I utilize USDC in various ways to escape the confines of a downturn. I can use USDC as part of my emergency fund, a nest egg, and an income stream. Each method has its perks, and we can use all...

Rental income is a vital part of our passive income portfolio. Rents tend to go up faster than inflation, and hard assets are great to own in this inflationary environment. But, most people cannot afford to own a home, let alone owning two. So, how do we earn rental income without owning rental properties? There are tons of ways to create rental income. Afterall, we are living in the sharing economy. The main problem is people's unwillingness to...

Times are rough, and the future only holds more pain. What can the average American do about inflation? When all else fails, it's time to return to the basics. We need to track and document every penny that comes into our household. There are only two ways to become wealthy-reduce expenses and increase income. As you create more cash flow, you must invest in dividend-paying stocks. Dividends are the key to living your best life. The more you invest,...

As a couple in a small city, you are in the best situation to become homeowners. You get all the perks of a partnership but without the financial and time constraints of having children. Therefore, you have to make your time count. Living in a small city gives you a much more realistic chance of homeownership. But nothing in this life is given. You must work hard at work and ensure you are both on the same financial page. Also, ask questions such...

Most of us grew up in households where talking about money was forbidden. We may have heard that money is the root of all evil. These beliefs have a significant effect on our relationship with money. As we progress through life, we tend to keep our finances close to home. We don't want people in our business. However, opening up around the RIGHT PEOPLE can lead to further successes. It is the exchange of ideas and thoughts about money that can help...

Are you a prolific writer? Do you love to self-publish an ungodly amount of books? Good, because I am the same. After visiting two bookstores this week, I had an epiphany. Bookstores have too many types of material to bring people together. Yes, there were lots of people inside these stores, but they were all on individual missions-it was like a carnival. What if the books were of the same type? If I opened "Financial Freedom Bookstores," everyone...

Many people are quitting their jobs and are silently putting less effort into their tasks. These movements sound great on paper, but what lies underneath the surface? How does it look when you are 40 years old and don't have a career? Will you have the resources to provide for your family? The timeframe between the age of 24-35 is vital to building your status in the workforce. The harder you work here, the less stressful you will be from age 36-50. I...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a self-refilling debit card? Well, it's here in the form of the Cash App debit card. Within the Cash App program, you can invest in dividend-paying stocks. The dividends from these stocks transfer directly to your Cash App spending balance. So, you can be shopping, receive a dividend, and immediately spend that money before you leave the store. It's a great way to live, and one my wife and I have lived in for over two years....
