How Being Successful Might Include Leaning Out From Work

What do you consider to be someone who’s “made it”? Does that phrase bring up images of young fit people in business suits smiling as they rush to the next meeting holding their cell phone to their ear and a Starbucks treat in the other hand? While this is often a popular stereotype seen on TV and the media, for those of us that actually make it there it can come with a lot of sacrifices that we might not even be sure (or even aware) that we’re willing to make. So ask yourself this: Why does being successful have to stem from only your job?  Aren’t there other ways or other things you can participate in that would be just as rewarding or fulfilling? You may not realize it, but developing a healthy separation between work and … [Read more...] about How Being Successful Might Include Leaning Out From Work

I’ve got some terrific news: My new niche website (NS2) is currently ranking on the first page of Google at #4 for my main target keyword! Believe it or not, this comes as a great accomplishment to me because it means that all the tricks and things I learned through the first niche site do in fact work!  This is also very exciting news to me because if I consider how much my first niche site (NS1) makes in terms of a modest residual income every month from the advertising, I now just DOUBLED my income potential!  Can you imagine how much money I could be making after experiencing success with perhaps 5 of these types of sites?  The possibilities are endless!   … [Read more...] about Niche Website Update 8 – NS2 on the First Page Search Results Already!

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

stocks with high dividends

What a great time of the year to receive the next installment of my “truly” passive income. By luck, it just so happens that my next series of payments from my dividend paying stocks was scheduled to be paid in December. Couldn’t we all use a little extra cash right before Christmas as the bills start rolling in? Over on the left are the results of my third batch of quarterly dividend payments received for Quarter 4 (Q4).   … [Read more...] about My Stocks with High Dividends Income Report – December 2012

dividend paying stocks, dividend stocks, dividends, dividend income, passive income

As many of you know, 2012 is the first year that I have really overhauled my stock investment strategy and changed my focus to simply collecting high-quality dividend paying stocks. Just like any dividend investor can tell you, dividend payment income is a pretty remarkable source of “truly” passive income. I prefix passive income with “truly” because the income they generate literally requires no effort on my part.  I simply collect the payments each quarter! As of this month, I am happy to report the second installment of my quarterly dividend payments received.  Please see the image on the left for the total.   … [Read more...] about My Dividend Payment Income Report – September 2012

My Alternative Emergency Fund Strategy and How It Works

August 20, 2012 by MMD 44 Comments
Some of the links included in this article are from our advertisers. Please read our Disclosure for more info.

Lately there have been a number of great posts and strong opinions about having an emergency fund, and I wanted to weigh in with my own opinion and experiences. I have had a long a standing love-hate relationship with emergency funds. Sure, you need them for critical situations! But my problem (and I think this is where a lot of people struggle) is how to save up enough. Depending on which advice you subscribe to, the recommendations can be anything from 3 to 12 months of your gross monthly income. If you’re a typical American household making $60,000 per year, that’s anywhere from $15,000 to $60,000 that we need to have in the bank! Ouch!  Is it any wonder we fail at this? … [Read more...] about My Alternative Emergency Fund Strategy and How It Works

Book Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Without a doubt, Rich Dad Poor Dad has become one of the most controversial personal finance books of modern times. Some people have praised it as the revolutionary how-to guide for creating ultimate riches through passive income. Others despised what they read because Kiyosaki challenged the conventional system for how people make a living and live their lives. When was the last time you were told that going to college and becoming an employee for someone else for the next 30 years is a terrible plan? Or that the only reasons you became an employee in the first place was out of your own fear and greed of money? Or that your house is NOT one of your greatest assets? Rich Dad Poor Dad is NOT a book that will explain to you what a 401k … [Read more...] about Book Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
