Blog Review
Mark at Personal Finance was kind enough to write a review about Passive Family Income (PFI). I appreciate the objective review and the recommendation that Mark has provided, along with any recognition that comes along with it. Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it!!!
Articles I liked
I read many articles over the past week on other blogs, but here are a few that I liked the most.
1 - The Passive Dad discusses how reducing your debt is a form of passive income.
2 - Dawn at Fighting Foreclosure discusses why bank interest is her favorite form of passive income.
3 - That One Caveman at One Caveman’s Journey discusses his soda (pop as I call it) addiction. I can relate as my one true vice in life is Diet Coke!
4 - The Dividend Growth Investor gave a run down on stocks that raised or lowered their dividends for the month of June and a list of companies that typically raise their dividends in July.
5 - I came across a blog for the first time this past week that I really like called - Cash Back Ideas. The particular article that I found was how Jim took out $24,000 in debt and used it to make an investment in something that returns more than goes out. This is the same concept that I try to use with the Prosper loan that I have taken out. I look forward to reading more of Jim’s posts in the future!
Have an excellent week!
