Millionaire maker, Robert G. Allen, states in his book “Multiple Streams of Income” that an individual ought to build up multiple streams of income to secure his/her future. As a 21 years old student, I was surprised that none of the “adults” that have taught me in school, my teachers, has ever taught me that. “Multiple Stream of Income” (Passive income portfolio) is something that can be build by anybody who has understand how important money is.

This article is written to remind myself and other student why he/she ought to start building up their passive income portfolio as soon as possible so that he/she will be able to achieve financial freedom fast! The following outlines are the important things that ought to be remembered after reading this article.

• Working for others does not create passive income.
• You do not need much money to grow your money tree.
• The moment you work, it’s a whole different world.
• Becoming rich at 65 is too late to be enjoying life.

1. Working for others does not create passive income.

Passive income is an income that is being generated even as you sleep. A lot of us grow up with a mindset of graduating with an honor and hoping that right after we got the degree, we can search for a decent job and “we will take it from there”. By working for others, we are not creating passive income. Our main goal, in order to be rich, is to create different type and sources of passive incomes in our lives. Earning a fix income every month will not let you achieve financial freedom. Most of us are still young, we have got a lot of time to build up our passive income portfolio. So start now!

2. You do no need much money to grow your money tree.

There are different types of ways to create a new stream of income in your life. Some ways required a lot of money to starts, most don’t. I really advised all of you to read a book written by Robert G. Allen, “Multiple Streams of Income”.

The book taught us different ways to build up our passive income portfolio. A lot of people think that it takes a lot of money to make more money. And that discourages them to even try to make money. That is not true! If you do your homework and thoroughly do your research, you will find out that you can start earning an extra income by doing a lot of things. For example, a 15 year-old boy save up enough money to buy a candy vending machine. He got it in E-bay for about $50. After getting permission from the owner, he positioned the vending machine in his favorite toy store. Each month he will spend about $10 buying sweets to put in the vending machine and each month he will be earning about $20 from many people who insert quarters in exchange for the candy.

This fifteen year old boy has already created one tiny stream of income. He does not require that much money to start building his first tiny shoot of money tree. And that is just one of the examples. Amazon.com is well known for their affiliation program. Nowadays, there are many affiliation programs out there and these programs are not too expensive to start. What I am trying to say is, if you are really seeking for a financial freedom, start now. There is no reason for you to delay your first step in achieving your dream.

3. The moment you work, it’s a whole different world.

One thing that worries me as a student is how little time I will have for myself as soon as I start working. Waking up at 7 A.M every day and work till 5 P.M is not something that I will enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, nothing is wrong with working. In fact, I worked in an office position before. I enjoy the lessons I learnt from working, but I don’t enjoy working. After you are done with your job, you won’t have much time to socialize with different type of people. You will be spending most of your time of the week with your co-worker. The time you can spend with your family, loved one, friends will be limited. We are student. While we are studying, why not take that extra one or two hours per day to build up our passive income portfolio so that we have an escape route from the rat race that is put before us?

It could be a disaster if you completely select the wrong type and design of kitchen sink.

So it is crucial to learn about these little tips which will enable you to buy good quality and styles that suite to your overall theme of the kitchen.

Firstly, before you decide to do anything with kitchen re-design, planning about budget is very important. It is very important to do forward planning about the money that you are going to spend on this project and more importantly is once you finish the budget planning, you must stick with the plan. In many cases that home owners have to stop the project at the middle of the process because they have run out of budget, so make sure that this situation will not happen to you.

Shopping around is also a good idea to have initial plan of how many types of kitchen sink that available in our area and you can use this opportunity to do a price comparison to see which one is affordable. Do not be appealed by the luxurious and beautiful kitchen sink out there which will make you are in trouble due to its expensive price make you out of budget.

The glowing economic reports are blowing away the middle class. Amid rough retail reports you can still find some gems. Tiffany the luxury jeweler profit rose as sales went up 20% to $ 662.6 million. Other lower end retailer’s sales fell across the board. The struggling middle class are feeling the pinch. The uncertain housing market is causing a lot of the financial woes. A snapshot of the landscape, with the entire home for sale signs would give you a picture of the slowdown.

The middle class is surely being kicked while down. The alluring home market has fallen flat for the struggling middle class. The number of Americans without health insurance has risen by 2.2 million. There are a total of 47 million people without this insurance. The poor are still poor and the middle class is struggling to stay middle class. The claim is other sections of the economy are healthy.

Then who and what are the reports referring to? Before 1990 the Forbes 400 had a combined worth of $221 billion combined. By June 2006 they were worth 1.3 trillion. The median household income has held at about $ 44,000. What this means is if the lower to middle class incomes are stagnate while inflation is rising, the healthy economy exists for the rich. There are many ways to make the national economy appear healthy than it is for the average working class family.

Adjusted for inflation the federal minimum wage has fallen 42% in June 2006 since its peak. It is said that 80% of American spend more on health care than entertainment. Partly this is due to the high cost of prescription drugs. The second part is that the number of prescriptions written is higher than ever. The U.S. economy is partly built on the pharmaceutical and food conglomerates. Think about it you have to eat so there is always a market for what the food industry produces. Than again after you indulge in the processed faux food you wind up in the arms of the pharmaceutical giants.

In other words the big players on the top rungs are where we find the health economy. The U.S. economy is supported by the working class. From taxes to buying habits the happy reports about the U.S. economy are fueled by the feeding of the corporate giants. The top is getting heavy and the bottom half is loosing its footing. If the U.S. economy sinks the middle class, it will echo thought the whole economy.

The opportunities for wealth still exist in this economy. The problem is that the industrial giants are in the position of expanding their reach at the cost of the general population. Basically, what the prevailing thought is that the rich spend and keep the money in circulation. Their buying power and consumer spending feed the economy. The question is whose economy. Sure Tiffany is enjoying good sales growth, but what about the mom and pop stores selling lower end merchandise.

When doing an overview of the economy you have to look at the landscape. When listening to the reports on the economy you have to ask where Middle America is. Then you can get an idea if the ship will stay afloat, and I think the answer will not surprise you. Middle America is not being buffered by the high rollers. If anything it is being sunk by the people who claim to be holding the economy together.

ink is the most important area in your kitchen. Yes, I’ll rank it higher than the stove since all the activities you do in the kitchen begin and end in the sink!

Since it is used so often and for such long periods, the first attribute for a kitchen sink should be durability.

There are a wide variety of kitchen sinks available and they are made of such diverse materials as stainless steel, enameled cast iron, soapstone, concrete and quartz composite. Among these the quartz composite sinks are the most durable. The enameled cast iron sinks are also a good choice. They come in many attractive colors and are also easy to clean and maintain.

Don’t even think about sinks made of china or brass. There is no doubt that they are exceedingly beautiful but are not durable at all.

If you have deep pockets you could go for nickel or copper. Of the two, nickel is the toughest but pure copper is more practical as it requires no maintenance at all.

If you only count on durability you may go for enameled cast iron sinks because one may last you even twenty five years! But care has to be taken to preserve the enamel coating because it tends to crack quite easily. You can’t afford to forget using the sink mat!

But the most widely popular kitchen sinks are those made of stainless steel. They are very easy to clean and though slightly noisy when used, can last for years together. The only problem is that they tend to get dented quite easily. So, proper care has to taken while lowering or taking out utensils from the sink.

The smooth clean lines of design and their gleaming finish allow them to match perfectly with any type of kitchen décor. In fact the gleaming bright steel acts as a counterpoint to predominantly wood and laminate décor in the kitchen. A newer variety of stainless steel known as brushed steel or matte finish steel has set the markets on fire. Sinks made from this material have a sober classy subdued look but what is more practical is that they hide the scratches and dents more effectively.

Mirror finish and satin bowls with mirrored edges are also popular varieties of stainless steel kitchen sinks.

While you choose a sink take care that it fits with the kitchen décor. A deep single porcelain enamel kitchen sink will be a jewel in a farmhouse style kitchen; while a tile-in sink will look perfect in a French Country style kitchen.
