Nap time is short. Sometimes it’s 27 minutes, sometimes it’s 11. Sometimes it’s cut short by someone yelling “MOMMMM” from the hallway for absolutely no reason. So when I talk about creating passive income during nap time, I’m not talking about some fantasy where you build a seven-figure business in a week. I’m talking about using small pockets of time consistently to build something that compounds. That’s exactly how I built passive income selling digital […]

I used to be a 335-pound liability. For 30 years, I was the “Last Man Standing” in the retail trenches—leading crews through Hurricane Sandy, blackouts, and 3:00 AM transformer explosions. I had the grit, and eventually, I had the $3M net worth to prove it.

Currently the quarterly contribution is around $1,825 each quarter, and I will continue to increase this by 125% annually until it reaches $50Kpa (which is approximately what my ‘surplus’ tax-free self-funded pension income will be). In the
Ten years ago, we bought our very first home — a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in the inexpensive city of Gainesville, Florida. And after living there ourselves for a while, it became our very first rental property investment — providing us with extra income as we traveled the world from Canada to Australia to Iceland. After what felt like a very successful decade of homeownership and landlording, we just sold that condo and ran the final […]
Over three years later, and my Worth Bonds are worthless. I reported back in August 2022 that Worthy Bonds were having liquidity problems. Last month I received the following email: Hi Joseph, As of February 2nd, 2026, after exhausting all available debt-recovery and asset sale efforts, Worthy Peer Capital has determined that no further funds remain for distribution to bondholders. As a result, any securities held in this offering should at this time be considered […]
Continuing with our theme of cybersecurity, I read an article this week about a new software product for fraudsters. With this software, the user (a would-be thief) types in a URL of a genuine website, and when a target visits a selected scam URL, the software loads up an invisible browser window to collect, in real-time, all of the genuine website’s information, which it then passes through to the victim’s browser window. In other words, […]
When I bought physical gold for the first time in 2024, it surprised some people — including myself who used to advocate Warren Buffett’s take on gold. Gold doesn’t generate income. It doesn’t compound. It doesn’t fit neatly into the discounted cash flow models I’d spent years studying. And yet, it felt inevitable. The Wrong Lesson First My first encounter with gold came during COVID-19. Markets were crashing. Governments were printing money at unprecedented scales. […]
