Personal finance is just that, personal. It stirs a lot of rational and irrational emotions.

An indisputable truth is that to reach #FinancialIndependence one has to live well below their means and/or increase their income.

A thread 🧵:
You can increase your income by getting a promotion or a new, better paying job.

You can also increase your income by having multiple income streams. Multiple income streams means you have money coming in from different sources.
There are 7 broad sources of income 💵 💵, they are listed below with examples:

1. Earned income - a salary from a 9 to 5
2. Interest income - income received from interest earned on savings
3. Dividend income 🤑 - income earned from owning dividend paying shares or ETFs

Here’s a thread on dividend investing👇🏾 https://twitter.com/pinkysithole17/status/1322129264091811840
4. Capital gains 💸 - income earned when you sell your investments for a profit (otherwise you make a loss)
5. Rental income 🏠 - income earned from renting out your property
6. Business income - income you earn from selling a service or product
7. Royalties or Licensing income 👩🏾‍💻📖🎼 - income earned from creating a unique product or idea such as a book or song lyrics

By having more than 1 income stream you ensure that you earn more than 12 times a year. Who doesn’t want to earn more and to earn more regularly 🤷🏾‍♀️
Having multiple income streams is the goal ⚽️ 🥅 it won’t be easy and at first it may take some time to research and require a lot of effort to earn the income.

The reward for this hard work is financial freedom 💰💰
