I've been thinking about this for years and here's where my divide is.
Make a living, isn't the same as having a lifestyle.
I can easily make a living in Las Vegas and own a 1 bedroom condo working at McDonald's.
My mother in law is an artist and she barely makes enough. When she sold her home outside of Boston she made a windfall and that netted her some better income for a few years. She likes the lifestyle she has now in comparison.
So I've figured out what the lifestyle is that I want to have, and I've been trying to figure out how to fund it. Right now, it's working a job. But in return, we get a lifestyle that many of you know we have.
Because we know we want to do more of this lifestyle, I've been trying to figure out how to make passive income. The best income I receive isn't my salary from my job. No, it is the monthly rent that arrives from my investment properties. I go to the mailbox and I get paid. I don't have to do anything really. Someone else manages the property and I pay them a percentage of the rent. I can get paid living in LA, NY, Milan, Madrid, Singapore.
