What would you do with an extra $1000 dollars a month? Would you go snowboarding, buy a new car, take your gal out to dinner every other night, finally take some time off of work and go on that vacation you have been dreaming of?
Last year my landlord got a Divorce and due to the lack of affordable housing during that time of the year, I was forced to move back onto my family's farm while I waited for something to come available. At first, I thought this was a major set back and that I was sure to lose the girl of my dreams due to being seen as a "bum". But I soon learned that while is was still paying rent to my parents, my cost of living dropped exponentially! I suddenly had an extra $1000 dollars a month.
My gal and I were Ecstatic to be able to start living more abundantly. Within the first few months, we bought a 'new to us' Subaru, ate out regularly, Bought new gear for the coming year, started looking at buying a home, and considered and planned travel options. The world was at our beck and call!
Sadly fate intervened and my love also ended up losing her place of living. Being the man I am today and knowing she didn't have enough to pay for a new place on her own, I manned up and committed. I laid my money down and signed up for another state of poverty, in the form of renting someone's property again. Luckily this time I was able to save some money by subletting from a friend who needed some assistance.
Still loosing that extra $1000 dollars a month hurt. Yes, we could afford to live this way easily but the sad fact was that we could no longer afford to live as carefree as we once could. I was not satisfied with this! With my current level education at the time, I couldn't get another job that paid better or gave me as much freedom as my current employment, so I started to look online for ways to earn extra money.
I found something called 'affiliate marketing'. What it is simple, you go out and find websites like Amazon who sell stuff, market whatever product that catches your fancy, and makes a commission off its sale.
I know it sounds sketchy but it's real, and the best part is if you are good at it, you can make some serious 'passive income', which is money that once you have established the revenue system, make money on its own!
Don't get me wrong this stuff takes some learning and hard work but you don't need a college degree to gain these skills. All you. Need is the desire to learn and a passion for freedom and adventure!
My goal is to make that extra $1000 a reality for both myself and anyone who reads this blog! You deserve to have a life of awesomeness where you don't have to worry and stress about money.
