Let’s say you read the article about earning passive income from stocks and don’t feel like you have the time to research companies to buy. You might think you need to pay a stock broker/financial advisor 2% of your assets to buy them for you. Fortunately there is a similar, cheaper option: Funds!  Investment managers…

We just returned from a vacation to Disney World and a cruise to the Caribbean. It was a long, expensive, and memorable journey, and I hope all our family members will remember it for a very long time. To be honest I like this category of spending because gathering the experiences together is what will…

Yes, indeed, you are reading it right. We expect to receive $41,500 in passive income in 2020. Wow! It is like we have an imaginary member of our family working hard and helping us achieve our goals. We have been on our financial journey only six years, and it is incredible to expect such a…
