Making $256,000 A Month in Passive Income | Paying Cash for a Tesla, 3 Homes & More: Here is How!

Making $256,000 A Month in Passive Income | Paying Cash for a Tesla, 3 Homes & More: Here is How!

Last month, our stock portfolio earned over $256K . . . but it took a lot of hard work and short-term sacrifices to get us to this point! Christina and I have been financially independent for almost four years. But on our FIRE journey, we focused on saving and investing as much money as we could so that our money could work for us instead of the other way around. This meant cutting back on expenses, avoiding debt, being intentional with our spending, and investing as much money as we could. In other words, it took sacrifice. But, those short-term sacrifices paid off in the long run. In this video, I talk about how you can live a life of abundance through FIRE and it’s important to make smart, short-term sacrifices in order to achieve long-term financial freedom! Thanks for watching!

Is investing in IRAs with Robinhood a good thing OR is it something that you should be skeptical about? In this video, we discuss our thoughts on Robinhood's new retirement accounts!

What Is the Perfect Stock Portfolio Mix - I'm Worried About Over-Diversification

What Is the Perfect Stock Portfolio Mix - I'm Worried About Over-Diversification: We get a lot of questions about asset allocation and diversification. If you've been following us, you know that our primary investment is a total stock market index fund (VTSAX). But, we also invest in other sector ETFs, REITs, and even a small percentage of individual stocks. With all of our investments, we have to be strategic so that we aren't overlapping our investments (i.e., making everything redundant and too diversified). In this video, we talk about the perfect stock portfolio mix and how to address the issue of being too diversified.
