I did it. I eked out another grand for the month. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be making an extra grand a month outside of my regular job, but here I am. Now to reach that milestone with passive income – that’s the real dream.
As I ponder this achievement I also have to give thanks for the extra day this year. February 29th. February is a short month. I don’t know that I would have been able to reach a grand without the extra day. Maybe next year, but maybe not. There are no guarantees.
And with that, I’d like to recommit myself to earning even more. More with beer money sites – surveys, tasks, things of that nature. I have fallen into a comfortable routine, but with a few recent life changes I find things have been shaken up. That’s good. We need a kick sometimes.
After I hit my goal of $100 a month in passive income (and I know I will hit it now), I want to try this on hard mode. Only buying the lower yielding, but ultimately better paying in the long-run, companies that will secure my future. They generally pay quarterly and so it will be a balancing act to reach $200 a month and, of course, much slower going. But I think this is a noble goal, especially without touching my regular income.
