It's going to be one of those days. When people panic and sell And the strong hold and wait. It's a time for cool heads But mostly it's a time when I'm glad for my Income Shares. I know next month's distributions will pay my bills and there's going to be something left over

Income investing (think dividends, passive streams from solid stocks or funds) isn't just for silver-haired retirees sipping piña coladas on the beach. It's straight-up power for younger guys in their 20s, 30s, or even early 40s! Start building that portfolio now, reinvest

Most SE Asian countries offer a 2-3 month easy visa: Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Cambodia for example. If you can work from anywhere, why not investigate working from somewhere else and find where you can live your best life.

What does it cost to be a single guy dating in the Philippines. Probably much less than you imagine. This was me for the first 6 months. Rent 1 bed condo with AC - £250 Council Tax - Included in rent Internet - Included in rent Mobile SIM - £5 Electricity - £10 to 40 (AC

Income funds are not designed for high NAV growth. They are dedigned to deliver regular income that you can either spend or reinvest. Ok, so I got lucky on Silver ETP and it doubled, so I sold at the top and reinvested, as my Income funds are just that. For income. Most will

I love the spontaneous fun of living in the Philippines. Yesterday we just decided to have a couple of days at a Waterfall resort just an hour's drive from home. We're celebrating our bumper @IncomeShares monthly distribution announcement yesterday. Filipinos love to celebrate

I received £2700 in January in distributions from @IncomeShares and @hanetf. In a Stocks and Shares ISA, it's tax free. That's the same as a £43,000 salary I'm reinvesting £1,000 which means more shares. So I've given myself a pay rise next month No commute, no boss, no

A huge shoutout and thanks to @cashflow_king94 and @Alice_MiaX who earlier in the week we're echoing my own thoughts that Silver was about to peak and crash. This is where the X community is invaluable. It's an opportunity to check your own analysis and thoughts. Sometimes a
