$9 for every $2500 saved? Thanks, now I’ll go mix some Prozac with my morning coffee.

That’s a useful way to think about saving for the future.

The reverse is also useful: If you raid your savings for $2500, you are losing $8.59/month for the rest of your life.

That’s a good way to look at a small windfall Lazy Man, as long as you invest each small windfall you get, that can add up to some very nice money in the long run. I try to do the same thing with my windfalls, but I’ve never broken it down like that.

[...] How Much Passive Income Can You Buy With… – Lazy Man does a good job illustrating what it takes to create passive income. A small windfall can actually be shown as a monthly income for life. When you begin to think of things that way, it has far greater meaning. [...]

I like to think that way whenever I invest away money or earn extra money through alternate income. I agree that you shouldn’t really call it passive income, nothing is truly passive, there’s always effort that you have to put in somewhere (making the trade through Zecco as an example). It’s simply a matter of how much effort is required that determines the level of passiveness for a particular income stream (for me).

I use much the same logic myself. It makes it difficult to spend your bonus money…

I accounted for inflation, but I didn’t account for currency valuation. I leave that up to the investor to put the principle in a place that doesn’t lose a ton of value.

HA! Astro’s are no where to be found in the playoffs. Coming off one of their worst seasons, it saddens me to know they were in the world series just a few years ago.

But, when computing those calculation’s, one most not forget about the decline in the value of the US Dollar. Its one component most peeps forget to factor in and since the dollar has been and will continue to decline in value over the foreseeable future, your $25000 should be rolled over into a Canadian mutual fund. At least the loonie is gaining in value.

Haven’t the viewing figures been diving the last few playoffs? The die hards are going to watch anyway, but kids and casual viewers won’t stay up for the games that last past midnight.

Yeah, the playoff schedule is a little crazy this year. Luckily, I have directTV in my office at work and no cable at home, so it works out well for me. (Also a die hard Red Sox fan and living in California).

PS. Ortiz just hit a 2 run homer – GO SOX

$8 is better than a kick in the teeth. As you mention, the real power comes from the reinvestment of that $8 into more assets that continue to throw off more money. It all adds up…

I don’t want to hear any complaints; my Phils are on right now. Game beginning at 3pm eastern time. PLAYOFFS WHEN THE ENTIRE U.S. IS AT WORK!?!?!? Oh, and the two games in Colorado will be 9:30pm and 10pm here on the east coast. Philadelphia will get no “prime time” games.

I can’t listen/watch, but at least I have the scoreboard on-screen.

Good luck on the work project! It is awesome how you are always looking toward the future of your money. By looking ahead and telling your money where to go, you don’t ever have to look back and wonder where it went!

Keep knocking it out of the ballpark!!! Oh yeah, if the CUBS meet the SOX – that would be AWESOME!!!

I would, but there are two reasons why I won't: 1) MLB stole my money this year when I tried to use them. 2) I have Linux at work and I don't believe they work with it.

I’d suggest mlb.tv. Can’t beat that. And you can alt+tab it if the boss comes a-knockin.
