Passive Income for September 2008:

September was a pretty good passive income month- a good amount of quarterly payouts combined with a slightly higher amount from this blog. 

 

Dividends- $37.94 (15% of all dividends)

Blogging- $18.82

 

Total- $56.76

 

In downright scary times like these, it’s nice to know that my money is still working for me.  I can hardly bear to look at my portfolio, but it’s somewhat reassuring to still receive those steady dividends. 

 

I know I’m young enough where this crisis doesn’t hit home quite as hard as it is for many other people, but it still concerns me very deeply.  There’s really no sugar-coating it: this sucks.  I guess all we can do is persevere.  As Henry Ford said, “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”  Granted, these obstacles seem monumental, but we all have two choices really.  We can lay down, surrender, and play victim to the world.  Or, we can choose to have the courage to keep plowing forward, no matter how difficult it seems.  I know what I’m choosing.
