I'm home with sick kids today, what joy. That's a fact of life for parents, and the more children you have (I have 4) the more sickness gets spread around. Stay with me, this connects to my wealth strategy. See, I found myself often at home, either with sick kids, or on holiday, or (unfortunately) on furlough. Last year, the Federal Govenment set a *NEW RECORD* 🍄 (if you heard that in Mario-Kart language, like me, we can get along just fine) for the longest furlough in history: 43 days. I...

Did you know that stocks represent the most accessible route to passive income for the majority of people? It's simple. Open your brokerage account. Deposit funds. Buy a stock. Now you're earning income passively. Even if the company doesn't pay a dividend, you're still earning income if the company is turning a profit, otherwise referred to as cash-flowing. The difference is that a company which does not pay a dividend is reinvesting that cash flow back into the business. This is effectively...

It's hot. The air smells a hint of smoke. The world cup is playing in the background, in Spanish, because I don't pay for TV. I'm working at my desk, writing content for my website and doing keyword research on a 7-day trial of SEMRush. My new sand hourglass is draining away. The kids are yelling at each other. I yell back. There are wildfires all over the region I live. Two days ago, a wildfire started in the canyon near my house. A shed was lost, and homes nearly caught on fire. I took the...

Every employee should have a newsletter. Full stop. Hear me out. Those like me that have chosen the employment route as our primary income source, opposed to entreprenuership, are most limited in time. We don't have a lot of extra time to make more money. Running a newsletter is the best way to solve that problem. Here's why: Every employee has something great that they do. That could be a hobby, a life experience, a talent, or something related to their job. That thing that you do well can...

Hey there! 👋 I hope this summer is treating you well. I just returned from a 4-day camping trip with the family in the Deschutes National Forest. We recorded 4 tantrums, 3 ticks, 2 minor injuries, and DOZENS of mosquito bites. 🦟 I came home to a full email inbox. It took a few hours to work through it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I sold 2 domain names while I was away. That is the power of passive income from assets. Today, I'm going to share with you how I made those domain...

Hello there! In this edition of the newsletter, we are introducing our brand new decision tool: Should I Buy It? We are also discussing how a.i. is changing passive income. Plus, an update from inside my portfolio. Let's dive in! Should I buy it? How many times, daily, do you find yourself trying to decide if something is "worth the money?" I've been there.

Hey there! In this edition of the P&BS newsletter, I'm sharing three methods for using debt productively to build wealth. Can you guess what they are? Dave Ramsey can't... Debt Is a Tool: The Three Types That Actually Build Wealth Dave Ramsey is dumb. He has said: "Debt is not a tool; it is a method to make banks wealthy, not you." Wrong. Also, "A credit score is nothing but an 'I love debt' score." Also wrong. And, "The only good debt is a debt that is paid off." Just wrong. Most people hear...
