Set a Goal - Alternative Income Streams
By admin | April 1, 2009
I am a goal oriented person so I naturally think setting goals are helpful.
Last night I went through all 2008 financial info for the Kakaras family. I am organizing them for tax return preparation (no I’m actually not doing it myself, this year I wanted a professional to do it).
However, I did a quick excel spreadsheet version of what my tax return should come out with just so I can have the ballpark in mind that we are working with. One thing that I was surprised by was the amount of alternative income streams from 2008.
It was neat looking back and adding up the different places I had received money: promotional bonuses from opening bank accounts, interest earned, and other 1099’s I received. It made me want to set a goal for alternative income streams for 2009.
One of a major goal of mine is for one day to have my alternative income streams be greater than my expenses. At that point life is completely different and I am actively thinking through ways to take steps towards this.
I thought this last night and figured it would be a good challenge to throw out to everyone. “Set a goal for alternative income streams in 2009.” It can look like whatever you want (start a blog, make an investment, earn a better interest rate on your savings accounts, think of a small side business that you can start, etc.)
Everyone is different so it will look different for each person but think about setting a goal for alternative income streams in ‘09.
