You've come a long way to get where you are at. Whether you are in the military or not, you have sacrificed much just by going to work every single day. You have dealt with traffic, bad bosses, and countless frustrating phone calls.
My name is Josh, and I am an active-duty US Marine with the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant (E-9). I have seen a lot in my years-been to Afghanistan, served in Africa and Turkmenistan.

It is essentially a payday loan to yourself-putting a bandaid on the problem. Instead, finding the source of your financial trouble is much more challenging. Prepare yourself because it will only...

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...

I once believed you could survive in the workforce long enough to build a truly passive retirement. Let's say this takes 25 years. However, the workplace has degraded into a circus we must avoid. Using a combination of active and passive income, we should aim to be free in 15 years. Lowering our housing costs is the number one way to free ourselves. Once we determine our required household income (say $6,000/month), we can work on replacing it. By...

Inflation is upon us, so how do we defeat it? I guess we could work more hours at our job. Or better yet, get a second job driving Uber or delivering pizzas. That sounds like a great idea.
I was just kidding. Don't solve your problems by exchanging your time for money. Every time we do this, we'll have to work more hours to earn more pay. It's a hamster wheel that we call the rat race.
Passive income is the answer. We need to build passive income...
