My PASSIVE journey to £$1000 per week

My PASSIVE journey to £$1000 per week

My number one reason for joining WA was, and will remain until I achieve it, the allure of building a passive income that will hopefully fund a lavish old age pensioners lifestyle

I made the classic mistake of emptying the pension pots long before reaching the half way point (which round these parts is age 33) as my young and reckless mind was determined to live for the day, and let the future look after itself.... oops, this literally was a classic school boy error!

Anyway, being self employed for a good 20 years, my active income can vary from hitting 1k per week occasionally , to minus figures once expenses are taken off (and don’t mention dreaded holidays when it’s a definite zilch coupled with the necessary outlay of holiday spending money)

The grand plan, as i age, and the active income becomes less, is where I must find the passive income funds. Step up WA, yes I am expecting you to fund my old age, in return I will endeavour to put the spade work in now.

There will of course be other income streams that I will actively explore, and the idea of article writing appeals greatly since I started here, if I can find the right avenue to go down. Matched betting, which is 100% risk free, is an avenue that I have experience in and can generate a stress free £50-£100 per week income.

Switching and shopping around for better deals is a biggie for me personally and I know I could be up to £100 per week better off with renewed effort on my part.

The WA journey for me, has started as an enjoyable experience and I wish for it to stay that way. I’ve always been one to take the scenic route if possible. Think about your daily commute to work or that long and arduous journey to visit friends and relatives where you get held up in queues and stuck at traffic lights? I’m going to suggest that the journey could be so much nicer by taking an alternative route? A route that may take longer, or involve a refreshing pit stop or two? I hope you can see where I’m going here, as the quickest route may be the monotonous journey with anticipated obstacles.

It doesn’t have to be that way, if you’re prepared to open your mind a little and consider your other options. My forthcoming blogs will centre around my active income and hopefully the start of my passive income.

Now for my eagerly anticipated goals by numbers??!!

1000 be it pound sterling or dollars, this is my ultimate passive income per week figure

3750 I am so thrilled to be increasing my ranking figure, Day on day
