Why Total Return Investing Is Better Than a Dividend Strategy

The following is a guest post from Matt Becker, founder of Mom and Dad Money. Matt is a proud father and husband, and his site is dedicated to helping new parents build financial security for their family. Although Matt and I have somewhat different personal opinions in regards to dividend strategies, I thought it might be fun to invite him to take the stage and share his perspective on why he thinks Total Return Investing would be better.  I've always maintained the message on My Money Design that there is more than one way to reach financial freedom.  If you can keep an open mind and not reject something just because it is different than what you use, then maybe you might just learn something. Go ahead Matt ....   If you have … [Read more...] about Why Total Return Investing Is Better Than a Dividend Strategy

Is Financial Fear Paralyzing You From Being Financially Free?

The following post is a contribution from Todd. He’s the co-founder and content manager at the Men’s Blog Fearless Men. It’s a blog on Manliness that inspires men to grow strong, get fit, be wise, kick fear in the face and become a better man. What I admire most about My Money Design is the tagline “Designing Financial Freedom.” I believe that just because you have a dream or a goal doesn’t mean you’ll get there by accident. You won’t wake up in 6 months or 6 years and fulfilled your goal without having done it on purpose. You must plan, you must design how you’re going to build toward financial freedom. Want to be financially free? Stop living in Financial Fear. A leading cause of paralysis with investors, savers, planners and … [Read more...] about Is Financial Fear Paralyzing You From Being Financially Free?

Taking a “Pay Off Credit Card” Niche Site to the Next Level

A brief introduction for those who don't know me: My name is Matthew Allen and I blog over at Dumb Passive Income about all the things I've been doing to try to create online passive income. Creating sites and systems that will earn money passively has become an absolute obsession of mine. Admittedly, there is nothing passive about the amount of time I have spent and continue to spend to build up these sources of income. But, I am finally beginning to reap some of the rewards for all of my hard work. The coolest thing about building sites or systems to earn money passively is that once the work is done - you can just let it sit and earn while you work on something else. I've experimented with several different strategies, trying to find … [Read more...] about Taking a “Pay Off Credit Card” Niche Site to the Next Level

The following post is a contribution from Tony at We Only Do This Once.  Tony is a trombone player who has performed with major symphony orchestra, on Broadway in NYC, and in recordings and movie soundtracks.  He blogs about simplifying your life through downsizing and becoming financially fit. One of the best and worst things that ever happened to me was that I had a five year stretch of massive raises in income. During this time, I chose to not live off of my old income, and instead buy a ton of stuff. A year and a half ago, I found myself with debt up to my eyeballs (about $120,000 including my car loans, student loans, and credit card debt), and I decided that enough was enough. I am only a few short months from paying it all … [Read more...] about How to Reverse Lifestyle Inflation

Gary has worked at an internet company on their M&A team, as well as two private equity firms, and has a Real Estate Broker’s License. Investment funds allow small and large investors to pool capital together and enjoy higher investment returns with lower risks than private brokerage accounts.
