The Problem With Living in the One Bedroom Condo The only problem I can see with our property is that it’s not anymore quite as enticing to live there as it used to be. Yes, it’s only about twenty minutes to the central business district, however, there are newer properties that have been built over the past five years that are closer and easier to get to. Oh, and another thing I’ve noticed is that the condo facilities are also not as breathtaking as the properties that were built recently. There is a large pool, an indoor basketball court, a fitness center, a small children’s playground and a...

A great attitude to have when you are on the hunt for a new income stream is to be patient and persistent! I really  can’t find any reason for a person to fail at anything if they have persistence and a little know-how. Actually, in caveman terms, I believe that if you hack at something long enough, something has got to give. Note: this only fails if you are going about this in an incredibly stupid way. Like chopping at a tree to make it fall in your direction. I mean, take for example the simple business of selling lemonade. The money you can make from this is probably going to be pretty awful....

If you have read any of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad books (and there are several flavors out there), you will know that his biggest source of income when he started out was in real estate. He made a lot of great deals with minimal cash. One of his cash cows were properties that he bought at fire sale prices and converted into regularly paying rentals. Part of the money he made from rent paid for the small mortgage and maintenance cost on those properties. The rest of the money he used to reinvest and grow his small real estate empire. Sounds like this is worth a try, eh? Buying Our First...

Okay, now we’ve had some time to play around with all the possibilities that a lot of passive income can bring into our lives, it’s time to get to work. I’m not a major industry player and I’m not a rich man so what I can share is what I’ve learned when I first started on this journey. And as with all our journeys in life, the most important but also hardest thing to do is to take that first step. Excuse me if these suggestions are more on the side of philosophical or general…we’ll have time to get into the technical details of everything later. And now…how to get started with...

Alright, so maybe being lazy isn’t good. I was just trying to catch your attention. Actually, what I meant to say was: Why Passive Income is Good. Admit it, this title doesn’t sound as intriguing the headline above, right? Anyway, let’s get to the meat of it. I’d  love to quit my day job but since that’s really not possible at the moment(because my wife would kill me), the next best thing for me is to make some money on the side without interfering with the corporate career I’ve spent the better part of a decade nurturing. Sometimes, Working Hard Just Doesn’t Pay When you’re a pimply...

Hi there! If you just stumbled into this corner of the web for the first time, welcome! This is a place where I chronicle all my experiments regarding the pursuit of happiness and financial freedom. I have a couple of ideas and I’m slowly giving each one a try. I’ve been following a lot of bloggers for a while now and there is a niche section of the web that I seem to always find myself coming back to. These are the bloggers who like to promote the Internet Lifestyle. The niche is also known by its other aliases, Live the Internet Dream, Make Money Online and Get Away from Your 8 to 5 Job....
