Less Time, More Money | The Power of Passive Income

It's True - you don't have to be a major influencer, tech wiz, or from privilege to leverage financial gain. In fact, you could be doing this:

And getting paid at the same time! How?

w/ Passive Income. Passive income is money you can earn with little effort and without working a traditional job; exchanging less time for more Money.

One way to build an income stream is to invest in dividend stocks, which distribute part of the company’s earnings to investors regularly (typically quarterly). The best dividend stocks increase their payout over time, helping you grow future income.

As a bonus, dividend stocks typically are less volatile than growth stocks, so they can help diversify and even stabilize your investment portfolio. Investors can also reinvest dividends back into the stock, potentially increasing your investment if the stock does well.

You can also invest in index funds or exchange-traded funds that hold dividend stocks rather than picking and choosing individual stocks to buy.

This is a form of passive investing for those who prefer a more hands-off approach.

Index funds hold a well-rounded selection of many stocks that aim to mirror the performance of a given index. Ask a Financial Advisor here:

A dividend ETF or index fund will invest in a selection of stocks that pay dividends. Index funds can help balance portfolio risk, as market swings tend to be less volatile across an index compared with individual stocks. Dividend ETFs offer the diversification benefits of index funds while mimicking the ease with which stocks are traded. To invest in dividend stocks, index funds, ETFs or other publicly traded assets, you’ll need to open a brokerage account if you don’t already have one.

This may seem intimidating but do these things to simplify the ABOVE:

1. Download Robinhood App (your handheld brokerage)

2. Transfer $20 USD into your new profile/account today.

3. Choose a selection of (5) Stock or Index Funds - that speak to you.

4. Watch the Dividends ROLL IN.

Financial Wellbeing | how I healed my relationship to money

Money, Credit Repair, Debt Cancellation, Credit Worthiness... These all seemed like big words, BIG ideas, BIG goals to me...I'd look at the numbers and feel overwhelmed by the weight of my reality until I began to understand that Money like everything else in my life was a Relationship I had to build and required my full attention. "Money = Choices, Options, Freedom. - Emmy Award Winning Actress, Viola Davis." I started with understanding Money better... I knew what I wanted - but didn't know how to get there.
