There are many secrets that the richest people in the world use to retire early and enjoy life on their own terms. But perhaps the largest secret to retiring early isn’t that big of a secret at all. Passive income or setting up streams of income that create income for you without requiring you to actively work for all the earnings. Is the secret to retiring early. But creating passive income streams is no easy task, if it were, everyone would do it. Here are a few ways that you can help create enough passive income to retire early.
Create a Course in a Subject You Know
One way that you can start creating passive income to retire early is to take a course in a subject that you know. Selling a teaching course, whether it is a study course, skill learning course, mentorship course, or anything else, is a great place to start with passive income. After the initial work of writing and/or recording your course, every sale goes right into your pocket without any more work on your end. This is an especially useful approach to take if you have a skillset that people would be willing to pay money to learn.
Buy Rental Properties
Another of the most common and most profitable ways to create passive income for an early retirement is to buy rental properties. Rental properties are a great way to grow your wealth fast, since they can have a positive cashflow every single month, while growing your equity in the home, and only requiring 3.5% down with an FHA loan if you were to house hack. But make sure you choose good tenants to avoid losing money. Screening your tenants can help avoid issues like missing mortgage payments.
Invest in Index Funds
The final, safest, and most stable way to create enough passive income to retire early is to invest in index funds that pay out dividend payments. Some stocks give out quarterly, monthly, or annual dividend payments, or a payment of a portion of the business’s profits to shareholders. Many index funds that track the stock market or the S&P 500 give dividend payments of about 2% annually. While it takes a lot of money invested to get these dividend payments high, the stock value also appreciates overtime, meaning the sooner you start, the faster your money will grow.
The key to retiring early is creating passive income streams to sustain your life. But creating passive income takes a lot of work. Try using these three methods to start building passive income streams to bring your retirement day even closer.
