Working on Creating a Passive Income Through Investing

            In an effort to free myself financially, I have decided to try a few things. Legally of course. First step, use my brokerage account through Schwab since it’s my primary means of investing. I have considered using Robinhood or one of the many others, but I have been using Schwab way more frequently and figure it wouldn’t hurt.

            The tickers I’m going to start with:

            AGNC

            MAIN

            SBR

            GAIN

            LTC

            BND

            As it stands right now, I am going to start with $2104.16. Fee for buying stock is $4.95 and would bring the buying power to gain each stock to $345.74. With these being mostly monthly dividend paying stocks, it should allow additional buying power along with any interest gained from cash not used sitting in the personal brokerage account.

            As soon as the markets open (9:30am EST/6:30am PST), the opportunity to buy  will present itself. Living in the Seattle area currently, and if I want to be able to check on conditions when the markets open, I would have to be up and ready by 6:30am.

            Most of what I want is to be able to have money to pay for basics along with being able to travel whenever I choose. Picked up a calendar that is themed with the 1,000 places to visit before you die. Figured it would be a good start for my traveling wants. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get to the point of being free and traveling the world, but being realistic does keep things in their place. Especially when the unexpected  happens and may divert time and energy. Right now, things are looking smooth.

Hoping to be able to keep an update of efforts and travels.

Till we meet again.

Once Again to Launch Keto-Friendly Almond Butter at Expo East | NOSH

Available in extra creamy and crunchy varieties, Once Again’s organic blanched almond butters start with almonds that have had the skin removed, taking with it most of the nut’s natural carbohydrates. The almonds are then dry roasted until they reach peak flavor, resulting in a wonderfully rich almond butter that meets the needs of keto and paleo consumers, low glycemic index diets, and anyone looking for a truly natural, low-carb protein option. https://www.nosh.com/food-wire/2019/once-again-to-launch-keto-friendly-almond-butter-at-expo-east/

Is Kindness a Turn On?

The other day after getting on the bus to head home, I had just sat down in one of the front seats meant for old and handicapped people when they are on the bus. Since there was neither at the moment, I chose to sit and move if either were to get on at any of the next stops along the trip home. Across from me was an attractive woman headed to the community college for whatever classes she was going to have that day. Seconds later, a passenger was getting on that I recognized as they were a regular. It was obvious that they had a physical problem as they used a walking cane. The second I saw them getting on, I had chosen to relocate to a standing location by the middle door of the bus in order to have a bar or handle to hold on to. The particular passenger ended up sitting in the seat I had just left. Still not sure if they knew I had just moved. While listening to my YouTube Music playlist, I noticed that the attractive woman I had been sitting across from had been looking at me, along with what seemed an attempt to not stare by looking elsewhere. On the same set of seats I left, there was another guy who got up when a woman passenger got on and he let her have his seat. Wasn’t sure how much of it was influenced by me to be “chivalrous”, but that seemed to make the attractive woman more attracted to me as indicated by the way she watching me.

This is what got me started to think and wonder what made the situation attractive to certain people, and if there’s a cut off line if one exists.
