I'd like to talk about why I put nearly 85% of my income into passive income investments.
The fact of that matter is: I hate working.
I dislike the idea of being under someones thumb so much, that I will suffer in a dead-end, decent wage job for a long time, if it means I wont have to work for someone else ever again.
Every time I plunk down some of my paycheque on a passive investment, I feel like a little piece of me has ascended away from the daily 'rat race' toil, and if I just sock a little more away, I just might be able to get away from the god-forsaken hell that is full-time work.
So, I watch my investments, I view the market as a key to a problem that I have never been able to solve - Living without having to work for that living.
Will my $19.74 this October allow me to live without a care? No.
But it will make a small difference, and if enough of those small differences stack up, it just might allow me to live the way I've always wanted:
Professionally Unemployed.
I am currently renting and want to buy a home of my own. The housing market where I live is very expensive - Vancouver, B.C. Would I be better off investing my money and waiting longer or should I save as much as I can and jumping into the real estate game as soon as possible?? Thanks. Anna.

ReplyDeleteI like that!
That's my #1 goal in life as well.
Best of luck!
I think it's a great over-arching goal to aim for!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that I can get there before I'm grey!
