How To Create A Money Farm

I’ve been wrestling with how to be help people understand how to really build wealth and I have come up with an analogy related to farming that I hope will allow everyone to relate.
It’s simple enough. A farmer buys seed, plants the seed (in fertile soil), nurtures it (water & sun), and […]

How I Earned An Extra $7481 In One Year

It takes money to make money and that $7500 is no exception.  Over the past 12 months, I strategically invested money in Exchange Traded Funds, periodically wrote covered calls and profited from the transactions.

Frugal Advocate - Rich Slick Amazed!

I wrote last week that I decided to play “frugalist” for the month of February and so far I’m pretty amazed. Four pounds of beans cost $1.99, three pounds of rice cost $0.99 and 8 leg quarters cost $5.15 so my total meals for the week should cost $8.13. I must admit I’m […]

Woke Up, Clicked My Mouse and Made $732.00

Modern technology is absolutely amazing!  About 20 years ago, it would have taken a couple of phone calls, perhaps an hour and at least $100 in broker fees to do what I did this morning.  What did I do?  I woke up, got online to check the status of the market, saw an opportunity to […]
