WHY PASSIVE INCOME IS CRITICAL? And how to get it?
1st Why?
Out of a job for a year is NORMAL
- 60% of American adults live with chronic illness
- 42% have more than one
- 1/4 Americans will have a disability (That’s 61 MILLION PEOPLE)
Even for us young hustlers:
- 1/4+ of today's 20 year olds can expect to be out of work for at least a year bc of a disabling condition before they reach retirement
And yet we SUCK at saving:
65% of households lack a mere six weeks of take-home pay on hand.
37% of respondents unable to cover more than a month of normal spending.
Passive Income Stream #1: Mini Casas
- Tiny homes = $4k a month income from $70-100k investment
I'm actually concerned we may default on our national debt.
Anytime a country has gone to 130% det / GDP it has been a metaphorical point of no return.
The country has defaulted, a 🧵based on an industry report that got me humming.
Story time: Over the past 200 years
98% of nations that hit 130% defaulted on their debt (usually through inflation.)
Japan is the only one in 200 years that hasn’t defaulted BUT
Japan is rare...
Japan is a nation:
- in budget surplus (i.e. they run a net profitable biz)
- internally funded (i.e. they buy their own goods)
- with a Net Int’l Investment Position (NIIP) of +70% of GDP (aka they save a lot, and can ask for their $ back from other countries i.e. US.)
