Passive Income & Personal Finance
Hint: trading hours for dollars is not a winning long-term strategy
Ready to up your finances’ game?
We aren’t just a “real estate investing website” or a “landlord site.” We’re passionate about helping everyday people build passive income from rental properties, and create their ideal life.
After all, what good are rental properties or extra income if it doesn’t actually result in a better life for you?
So we take personal finance, passive income, and financial independence very, very seriously.
It starts with a commitment to spend less and earn more. To shove a lever in that gap between your spending and your income, and HEAVE HO!
The more of your income goes toward investments, the faster you can accumulate passive income. The faster you accumulate passive income, the sooner you’ll reach financial independence.
If all that sounds loosey-goosey and short on details, well, that’s why we drill down to the details in the articles below.
Reaffirm your commitment to a richer life, buckle up, and start digging in!
