Everyone wants to make more money, but very few want to work more hours. The best way to work less and make more money is to learn how to generate passive income. Passive income can be described as income that is received at regular intervals that does not require a lot of work to sustain it — money that you automatically make whether you work any more or not.

There are hundreds of questions that pop up on a parent’s or soon-to-be parent’s mind. How should we raise our children? What lessons should we instill in our children’s minds at an early age? Financial literacy — like any other fundamental life lesson — must begin at home.
The concept of money to children can be difficult to understand, but with the right strategies it is possible. Because most schools lack a curriculum that teaches daily life lessons and financial strategy, it is crucial to approach this topic as a family.

Even though there are some scattered signs that the housing market is picking up, in most areas, it is still very much a buyer’s market. That means that you have some pull when it comes to buying a house. So, if you have low credit card debt, a good credit score, a decent down payment, and a stable job, now is a good time to go house hunting. You’ll get a better interest rate, and you will be able to negotiate with the seller to help you save a little more money.

Struggle. When whole communities are affected by bad news and financial challenges, moods and momentum slow way down. It’s hard to find the way out of the downward spiral. I say turn that spiral in the opposite direction and lighten up together.

As you start to build up your net worth, the question of whether or not you should hire a financial adviser becomes more important. However, the answer is not a simple yes or no. Some people do quite well without a financial adviser, some people need one, and on rare occasions, some wish they never had one. Even though I’m a financial adviser, I don’t believe that everyone should hire a financial adviser.

We’ve all heard stories of guys who, after busting their hump for 40 years, kick the bucket at their retirement party or shortly thereafter. These stories scare the crap out of me and make me wonder about the idea of retirement, or on the flip side, working so hard to accomplish retirement. After all, what happens when we retire? For many, a whole lot of nothing. Maybe some games of bridge, golf, and laying on the beach, but doesn’t that get boring? Yes, and in fact, it might even bore you to death!
