How I Am Building Passive Income Streams

2021-11-10T00:42:00.003-05:00

I have always sung the praises of passive income. As a blogger I enjoyed a lot of passive income thanks to Adsense, affiliate marketing, sponsorships and more. Unfortunately, I stopped blogging. I burned out. Once I stopped blogging, the traffic stopped since I wasn't advertising anywhere and the passive income decreased to $0! I was so tired of being isolated, I decided to venture into my own

Frustrated with Financial Aid for Daughter's College

2012-07-06T14:03:00.001-04:00

As sad as I am, I have to rant about my daughter's financial aid situation. So far, every time she completes the financial aid, her school misplaces the documents and screws everything up. Being that my credit history was destroyed thanks to her father, I can't even co-sign for any loans. (I am self employed so that doesn't help either.) We always feel like we're jumping

Even the thought of buying life insurance makes me uncomfortable. Covering all your bases in regards to personal finance includes life insurance, but I always find a way to procrastinate.

Several years ago, I sat down with an MLM insurance company rep. I know what you're thinking. "Girl, run. It's MLM!" Well, it was one of the best things I ever did.

Paying for College

Paying for college can be a complicated process if you don't have the right resources. I had a very difficult time with the financial aid office of my daughter's school.

HubPages Income Update

2012-03-29T08:57:00.000-04:00

It's been some time since I posted about my HubPages income. That's probably because my adsense income was so exciting that I didn't pay much attention to anything else.

Amazon Income Update

When I first moved to the little house on the prairie, I considered homeschooling. However, after much thought I decided to send the kids to school because they would not have much socialization.
