EARN $5000 PER WEEK! Yeah no, this isn't that type of blog. But I will talk about how I earn passive income with my personal savings, self-directed stock market investing, and real estate.  

I am not a millionaire, and I am not a part of the FIRE (Financially Independent Retire Early) community, but I have started my journey with a goal to build financial independence. And I have decided to start this blog to share my adventure with you. 

I have learned a lot so far, and I know there is much more to explore. As a millennial, I was raised to work hard until you are 65 and you'll be financially independent. This concept may have worked 50 years ago. With the rising cost of living for added essentials like internet service and childcare, there aren't enough hours in the day without getting burnout and well ... not really living either. I now realize that I do not want to work until I am 60 unless I choose to and be independent of needing the money. 

I started by first becoming present in my family's spending. I did a deep dive into our accounts then I created a budget. I learned how interest works, how to find savings, and how to invest in assets and the stock market. Essentially putting my money to work because this mom has no more hours in her day. 

I will be adding content as I continue on this journey that I am really excited about. There is a wealth of information out there...pun intended. It can be hard to cut through the noise and gimmicks, but I am responsible for my financial education and for putting in the work. I started by becoming present with my finances; the more you know, the more you grow.
