Making money like that “on the side” does make a solid case for not returning to the traditional workforce. As long as your obligations are met, it just makes sense to continue as you are. Blog income generally goes up exponentially ( much like compound interest ), so it’s good to see you sticking with it.

Congrats on another great month of alternative income. Do you ever plan on going back to salaried work?

Well, I don’t use pay-per-post so that wouldn’t be part of mine. I don’t think I’d include it unless it was a recurring payment in nature. It’s not easy to define alternative income.

So if you use pay-per post services,where you write a post and they pay you $5-10 you won’t include that?

I would say that you should start investing in income producing stocks.

Good luck!

Except that I couldn’t count it as part of my definition of alternative income. See the note at the end, “I do some freelance work that I don’t include in these numbers because they are paid at an hourly wage.” I would exclude any salaried positions as well.

LazyMan,

If you get a part-time job at Wal-Mart, ( 20 hours/week ) you can increase your “alternative income”. If they paid you $7.50 /hour ( equal to roughly 6 aftertax) you could make $480 more per month.
