As I’ve settled into the idea of being self employed and working under my own power non-stop, I’ve laid out a brief plan as to how I’m going to work up to the salary I was at back to when I was working “for the man.” I’ll spare you the details for now (future post idea!) but Adsense does play in to where I want to be, and I’ve made some headway, but I’m not there yet.
With that in mind, Adsense clocked in for September at $129.79
My goal is to keep building on my earnings, and I’m hoping to top
Wow, this market is just absolutely brutal. I was in High School when the dot com bust happened, and I remember the harsh reactions and in particular my brother who was working as a web developer at the time describe the carnage. It was nothing like this. This is unprecedented, and actually puts into question our thinking about the entire economic system. I’ve never been a big fan of credit, I avoid debt like the plague. I don’t have a mortgage, my car loan is two months from being paid for (my car has about 60,000 miles on it), and
Having recently made the plunge into self employment, I’m as worried as anyone that the economy will continue further south and
So, as I noted before, I’m going to be doing some basic dividend stock analysis in the coming months. It won’t be anything particularly fancy, but it should help to add some more value to the blog and shine some light on a past time I find fun and interesting. With that in mind, feel free to drop me a line as to what stocks you’d like to see me take a swing at. What are the requirements?

The trading floor held it’s breath today as the minutes winded down and the votes were tallied on the $700 billion dollar bailout that failed to pass in the House today, marking the largest drop in the stock market since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I’ve never personally witnessed a larger drop in my brokerage account, and investors everywhere are feeling the pain. With this in mind, it’s time to do some damage control. Take a list of your portfolio and start doing some research into whether your dividend stream is safe. A steep recession often leads to cuts in dividend
Since leaving the corporate world, I made the decision that I didn’t really want to go back. I didn’t like being stuck in an office all day. I hated having to drag myself out of bed to do work that had long since worn at me, day in and day out, for 40 hours a week. The problem I immediately ran into was well that’s all well and good, but how will you pay for anything? I had to move fast. I did enough in emergency funds to keep myself running, and I signed up for COBRA benefits to keep
In rough economic times like this, it’s a smart move to adjust your portfolio to a more defensive position. As a result it’s likely that you’ll want to explore other options for building up alternative income. Whether that will be through traditional resources like conservative investment vehicles and CDs or if you’re a bit more creative and willing to put some work into it, new means like Adsense sites and the like.About Me
My name's Frank and I'm a life long seeker of passive income and dividends. I work in Financial Services and invite you to join me in my search for the holy grail of finance: passive income.
