While most folks who read this blog are likely pursuing financial independence through the creation of passive income in excess of their expenses, this isn’t the case for everyone.

writing2reality — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:00:27 +0000

This has been a big week for me in terms of milestones. No, no, I’m not loaded with passive income or hit a monthly income mark. And while I’m thrilled the Patriots won their fourth Super Bowl, that isn’t really what I’m here to talk about. Earlier this week, I turned 30. Today, Write Your […]

One benefit of this level of tracking is a clear snapshot of where I’m currently projected to be, which gives way […]

writing2reality — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:30:51 +0000

Finding the right set of goals is difficult. You want to be able to measure your progress, experience the push and stretch of obtaining, all while making sure they are somewhat reasonable. For example, I could tell you that I wanted to earn $25,000 of passive income over this course of this year. Unfortunately, this […]
