Passive income returns of over $10k, with expenses less than $7k, gives more of a life of complete freedom then you can imagine.

Yeah, because you live in a van down by the river and you are free to do whatever you want.

Are you serious?

Small houses are affordable if you save 75% of your pay check and pay in cash.
Those whom mortgage end up paying double for their house over 30 years, while losing out on all those investment returns they may have gotten.

How to Start Living a better Life Smilie

1) Have Expenses <<< than your income
2) Invest your money to increase you passive income
3) Get your free time back to develop better relationships with those you care about!
4) Find inner peace from your past, for your future, and for your happiness with freeing your chains in the present!
5) Start questioning the Media and Government, to make sure they are generally on a right path for existence and moral standing.

If you only have it for one year, I would only recommend investing in something that gives you a guaranteed rate of return. Your best bets will be high yield savings, or a 1 year CD, whichever is greater.

Investing the money in the market can yield greater returns, but you run the risk of having it lower after 1 year. Are you prepared to pay out of pocket should your investments turn sour? It's high risk, high reward.

Invest in short-term stocks or buyout candidates. VRNG, CLWR, CALL, are all undervalued currently. Don't listen to vicioustide and his rant about passive income....

You are an idiot, and everybody in the Finance forum knows it. Why do you keep trolling here?

Do not listen to that buffoon. He is the same person who stole gift cards from bestbuy yet he is not almost a millionaire and retired from PASSIVE INCOME... laugh out loud

I can list off many stocks that are short term or buyout candidates.

LOL.

Yeah, don't listen to ViciousTide... He is full of it.

I keep proving ways to save and make you money and ways that will eventually free you from having to workand you keep saying don't listen to me....

I can't escape the mental picture. theblaze.com is very clearly some sort of information anus yet some posters seem eager to attach their lips and deliver the product here.

Definitely do this!! Great fundamentals, and the consumers (like on this site) will keep buying these products and services for more then 60 years.

These each have growing dividends, and are high quality stocks to own.

Your $2k saved and invested in KO now, could be paying you $20++/month for all your life after a few years whether or not the price swings up and down in the markets.

Alright, well it'll probably increase by 10% in price as well as do most high quality dividend growth stocks do after a discount from some overhyped earnings report or doom and gloom political scare, so sell it and enjoy the capital gains after the year.
