Want to make money while you sleep? Passive residual income is the answer!

Most of us are stuck in a 9 to 5 job, paid a salary or compensated by the hour. Like clockwork, whether it’s weekly or bi-monthly, you get your paycheck and that’s that. This is the poster child of a fixed income. Unless you get overtime, a raise or a yearly bonus, your paycheck remains unchanged. Your expenses continue to rise. This picture can get old, fast. How can you change this scenario for the betterment of your lifestyle? There is one excellent remedy. It’s called passive residual income.

Passive residual income is income which is generated by one effort, returning dollars to you, over and over again, without any further time or effort on your part. Hey, that sounds good! How can you accomplish this?

When you go to work in a factory, for example, you perform certain tasks and are paid according to the number of hours you invested in performing the task. Tomorrow, you return to work and perform the very same tasks. The tasks you performed yesterday have been paid for and are reflected in your paycheck. You won’t be paid again for yesterday’s efforts.
On the other hand, passive residual income puts money in your bank account day after day and month after month, for work you performed only once. Sounds good! How do you get on this train?

Let’s say you’re a dog fancier and have come up with an idea for a dog collar that protects your pooch from every pest in a dog’s life. You patent your idea, manufacture the collar and then sell millions of them. Do you need to re-invent the collar? No. Are you paid for your efforts millions of times? Yes. This is passive residual income.

Maybe you know every folk remedy to cure your dog of ailments the vet calls hopeless. Write a book and let the world know your secrets. You write the booklet once and sell thousands of copies to dog lovers and vets alike. You write the booklet once, but are paid over and over for your knowledge. This is passive residual income. As you sleep, you’ve got orders coming in and money flowing into your bank account. A prospect like this can’t be beat.

The point is that you may have talents and avenues of income which are simply lying fallow. Make a list of things you know which might be of value to the public. You might be surprised at what you have to offer the world and what you might gain in return. Passive residual income is nothing to sneeze at!

Can you save money with name brand coupons? Sometimes, yes – read why

Virtually everyone is now looking to save some money when they shop. Even wealthy people report they actively look for ways to save and cut some of their expenses. Now here’s a startling statistic: food costs around the world have surged 75% since 2000! It’s no wonder that we’re all checking out all the ways to save. Coupons are one of the most popular techniques for today’s shopper. You find coupons in the newspaper, in your snail mail and even in the grocery stores. Some coupons are for store brands while others are called ‘name brand coupons’. So what’s the difference? In either case, you’re saving money, right? Not necessarily. Let’s see why.

Let’s take butter as an example. You’ve picked up a coupon for a nationally distributed brand of butter. This name-brand butter ordinarily sells for $3.75 per pound. Your coupon entitles you to $0.50 off this price. You use the name brand coupon and go home with your pound of $3.25 after-coupon butter. Now, while you were shopping, did you comparison shop? How about the store brand butter which isn’t on sale, but is priced at $3.00 per pound. By using the name brand coupon, you actually lost $0.25!

Now, let’s look at the other side of this butter coin. It is a fact that some of the cheaper dairies produce butter that has a higher water content. Perhaps you’ll be money ahead to use the name brand coupon, perhaps not. The only way you’ll know is by using the butter. However, unless you’re an extreme gourmet, it’s unlikely that you can tell the difference, unless you buy the very pricey ‘European-style’ butter as your benchmark. In any case, you’re probably saving money on the store brand for normal cooking and eating needs.

Granted, you may have certain name brand items on your list which are truly superior to your taste. So if you have a coupon for that product, use it. You may pay a little more, but you’ll enjoy it more.

Here’s the trick to using name brand coupons to your wallet’s best advantage. Let’s say you’ve got the name brand coupon for that expensive butter, which is not currently on sale. Check the coupon expiration date. It’s usually good for at least a few months. When you go shopping, comparison shop. Buy today’s best buy, which is probably the store brand. Hold on to the name brand coupon, until it goes on sale. That’s when you buy and really save.

Another tip for using name brand coupons: grocery stores have those little coupon dispensers, adjacent to the product location. When you see coupons for an item you regularly buy, pick up several. Consumers believe they are only allowed to take one for each product. Not true. Note the expiration and squirrel them away in your coupon organizer. When the product goes on sale, out come the coupons and big savings at the check stand!
