For those of us who dabble in ecommerce, our competition is winning. His name is Jeff Bezos and he's wiping the floor with all retailers, both online and off. The behemoth that is Amazon has helped fill the pockets of Mr Bezos to the tune of about $112 billion USD, making him the first billionaire to smash through the 100 billion mark and snatching the number spot from Billy … [Read more...] about The Richest People in the World 2018 on the Forbes Rich List

My Cryptocurrency Portfolio 2018
So it has been a few months now since I first started looking more seriously into cryptocurrencies and I thought I would share my thoughts on it all. I still have a very small portfolio of projects that I have invested in but that's only because I have a very small amount of money to play with. Although I've learned a lot more about crypto I still would NOT recommend putting … [Read more...] about My Cryptocurrency Portfolio 2018
Why I Bought Ethereum (ETH) Cryptocurrency
I first bought Ethereum a few weeks ago and have been buying a little more each week. It has been my first dip into the cryptocurrency pond and I plan to swim around for a little longer. I'm going all out for the first 6 months of 2018 and then if I'm still standing and the crypto world hasn't crumbled then I'll tread more cautiously. Until then, every spare dollar will be put … [Read more...] about Why I Bought Ethereum (ETH) Cryptocurrency
Getting Started with Bitcoin in Australia using CoinSpot
I've finally decided to look at becoming a Bitcoin millionaire like all the cool kids online. Early adopters of crypto currencies have made hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few short years but is it too late to catch this crazy wave? Who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no, but I figured I would jump on board anyway. My strategy will be to only put in what I'm comfortable with … [Read more...] about Getting Started with Bitcoin in Australia using CoinSpot
Watch Your Numbers as Your Thoughts and Feelings Lie
After posting my recent Income Report for last month I became a little depressed. While I know I'm not doing the things that I should be doing to achieve the results that I'm after, I've still been busy, so I expected better results. Last month was an all time low of $361 profit. That's below the poverty line in almost any country and I'm living in one of the most expensive … [Read more...] about Watch Your Numbers as Your Thoughts and Feelings Lie
Why I like CSL Shares ASX:CSL
While not a dividend stock, my next purchase will be the biopharmaceutical company CSL Limited (ASX:CSL). My main focus for my forever portfolio is dividend producing stocks that will probably still be growing and paying me an income in 10 years time. So, big blue chip stocks growing slowly but surely each year with a total shareholder return of somewhere close to 10 percent … [Read more...] about Why I like CSL Shares ASX:CSL
My Freedom from Slavery Number: $4.5 Million Dollars
The first thing I did earlier this year when I decided that I had to do something about the financial mess that I had created for myself was to come up with a number that would fix all of my problems, allow for a little luxury, and would pay me an income for the rest of my life. I called it my freedom from slavery number as if I attained this amount I would never have to work … [Read more...] about My Freedom from Slavery Number: $4.5 Million Dollars
Stock Portfolio
I've decided to post my stock portfolio even though it's looking pretty pathetic at the moment. It's really just one small lot of shares in the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and some left over dividends that were paid out years ago from some Coca Cola Amatil shares that I sold. I'll update it each month as I plan to add to it every month, even if it's the minimum amount … [Read more...] about Stock Portfolio
