Throughput the weeks I have touched upon the subject of creating more than one plan for yourself in order to be successful you must always have a plan no matter the situation, lets refer back to the three types of lifestyles : Secure, Comfortable and Rich. Just as I had said in order to prepare for being rich, you must prepare for being secure and comfortable as well, I cannot stress enough that one willing to take these steps must create each portfolio for themself. Today I would like to introduce to you the Three types of Income :
2. Passive income
This type of income is usually derived from many different entities. One may earn a passive income from license agreements, or patents to a product, or even through real estate. Real estate is a major factor in creating your passive income. This type of income has many tax benefits.
3. Portfolio income
This type of income is what we will call "Paper Assets." Paper assets such as : Stocks, Bonds and Mutual funds. On an investment stand point this portfolio income is by far the most popular, this is because of new technology, everything as I mentioned is paper assets, it is far easier to maintain and track tons of investments because it is all generated online through markets.
From the diagram drawn above , this is the direct corrolation between the three types on income. Simple really, you want your ordinary income, to convert into passive and portfolio income. Like I mentioned earlier the difference between the rich, and the middle class/poor is that the rich focus on their portfolio and passive income, where the poor and middle class focus on their ordinary income. Let me give you an example :
Say you have landed yourself a job at a local bank, the job seems secure enough good pay so you keep it, you are generating an ordinary income. With these wages you tell yourself its a good time to invest in the real estate market, so you buy a house worth $80,000 for $60,000 on a forclosure auction. You now have generated $20,000 profit for simply investing in the porperty, you find a new couple who would like to rent out the home for $1400 a month, now your simple investment has made you a profit of $20,000 and is also generating you a passive income because you now earn a monthly $1400 for rent. With this new found cash you go to your financial advisor and say you want to invest in some stocks, mutual funds and or bonds. Remember investing is risky and does not always have a positive output, but a great investor knows how to invest in a good and bad market, but for this case we will say you made a profit of $30,000 on your initial investment. You can see through this example that your Ordinary income generated a Passive Income which then generated a Portfolio income. This brings back into play your assets paying off your assets creating strict profit for yourself, for further explination for any new followers to this blog please refer to earlier blog postings to get up to speed.
I want to leave you with the idea of creating your three types of income, and stump you with a question. From the example listed above, how can one create a profit but seem penniless on paper?
