    About this ebook

    Do you want to work for 35 years to receive $3,000/month in social security benefits? That sounds like a bad deal to me.

     

    I would rather create a $3,000/month paycheck by age 45 and grow it into a $20,000/month paycheck by the time I turn 66.

     

    But where do you start? I choose income investing as my investing style of choice. It's not for everyone because it requires knowledge, research, and faith in the system.

     

    However, if you can understand the order of operations between various bonds and interest rates, you stand a chance to become a great income investor.

     

    My wife and I received over $1,700 last month in dividends, and I am only 41 years old (she is younger). Can we achieve $3,000/month before age 66? Good Luck!

      01  Social Security vs. Income Investing

      We should not depend on the government. That’s not to say that the government is terrible or plans to ruin our lives.

      However, the government is not our best source of reliable income; we are. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to create our own happy cash flow retirement system.

      I wrote an article titled "Social Security vs. Dividends" a year ago, but now it’s time to get even more hardcore. If you want to build a substantial recurring paycheck, income investing is the way.

      How to Create Passive Income for Beginners

      What are your social security benefits? I read today that the social security administration uses your last 35 years of work to calculate your benefits.

      That’s right; 35 years of hard labor. I don’t want to be in the workforce that long. Do you? Currently, I have 27 years to my name, and I am trying to finish in six more years.

      On my birthday, I always write an article in my "No Freakin’ Way I Am Working Another 25 Years" series because the truth hits me hard every year.

      They genuinely want you to spend 40-50 years working towards a paycheck. But there is a better way than working so many years and depending on a semi-funded program.
