Earning

I often say that there are two elements to getting finances in order. First, it’s important to learn how to use what you have wisely, second, you will probably want to make more money to meet your financial goals.

That’s why I write about earning more money. In this category you will find articles about side hustles online and offline business ideas and other tips to help you make more money from home or out in the world.

If you want to start earning more money today, it’s no secret that I’m a big fan of reselling. A few years ago I made more than $10,000 by buying and selling appliances. I dealt mostly in washers and dryers but sold everything from microwaves to cooktops and refrigerators as well.

You will find a wide variety of ideas here but I’m always looking for new ways to earn extra cash on the side. If there is something specific you would like me to cover in an article please don’t hesitate to reach out to me through my contact page.

Here are a few of my top articles about earning extra money:

An Introduction to the 3 Fund Portfolio

by

VTSAX is my favorite investment vehicle. Whenever a friend or coworkers asks how to get started investing in stocks, the first piece of advice I will typically give is “put your money in VTSAX!” This is a pretty common piece of advice in the investing community. This advice is widespread because it’s good advice for investors just starting out. However, it doesn’t necessarily constitute a full investing strategy. This is especially true as your accounts start to grow. Let’s do an analysis to see where this advice holds merit and where it is lacking.

Background on the 3 Fund Portfolio

The 3 fund portfolio is a book that I am taking from the bogle heads forum. the name bogle heads refers to the investing enthusiasts that can be found on their website. However, the name itself is a reference to John “Jack” Bogle, the founder and chief executive of The Vanguard Group, and creator of the first index fund.

The basic idea of the three fund portfolio is to allocate your money between three major index funds, VTSAX, VBTLX, and VTIAX. The ratio you allocate to each fund changes based on market conditions and your personal risk tolerance. These funds are all owned by Vanguard. However, other brokerages will have the same types of funds, which I will cover in a different article.

That said, in every setback, there is an opportunity. No matter what your situation or level of ability, there’s probably something on this list that can help you regain some footing during this difficult time.
