My Four Pronged Strategy Towards Financial Prosperity

Hello. I am 25 years old. I have now been out of college for three years. I have worked for two different companies, one with 100,000+ employees and one with fewer than 15, in two very different industries. I began investing my own money four years ago but didn't really understand investing until two years ago. I bought a house in 2006 and sold it in 2007 because I got married.

When compared with the average 25 year old, I'd say I am in a good place financially. I do not have any debt, have some money saved, and have already started saving for retirement. Additionally, I have experienced many different kind of investments personally in my short life, both good and bad. I have learned some painful lessons and enjoyed some nice luck.

I have compiled everything I have learned into what I call my strategy towards financial prosperity. Since I'm sure some people will be quick to criticize, I'll make it clear that in no way do I consider myself an expert. I have much to learn, and I am more eager than anyone to continue to learn. This strategy is my version at 25 years of age. It will undoubtedly change. I encourage you to continue reading and see if such a strategy might apply to your life and your journey towards financial prosperity.

Prong #1: Career - Active Income

Your first and most important component of your financial strategy is your job or your main career. This is my source of money that funds my lifestyle and my savings. My goal is to absolutely excel and achieve towards more responsibility and more money.

Additionally, my goal with my career is to have more freedom. This may be in the form of my own business or simply more freedom in my job. Such freedom will allow me to pursue other investments, other hobbies and other things in my personal life. More time, in my opinion, is equal to more money in many cases.

Prong #2: A Second Income Stream - Passive Income

Creating a second income stream can be difficult and takes a combination of an entrepreneurial attitude, creativity and hard work. This second form of income can be anything from a blog, an e-business, or a cash flowing real estate property. The main thing is that this income is "passive" which means it doesn't take eight hours of work, five days a week to achieve. Furthermore, the income can be a couple hundred dollars a month or a couple thousand dollars a month. The goal is any amount of additional income with minimal work to achieve it.

Creating a second income stream is a high priority for me at this point in my life. This blog that you are reading is one possibility (I'm not there yet), and I have a couple other e-business ideas.

One of my passions is to help others find passive income stream possibilities. I will be producing much more material on this blog regarding this subject in the near future.
