Category — Side Income

I read that around 10,000 jobs at Royal Dutch Shell will be slashed amid low oil prices, restructuring plans as well as due to a new Chief Executive. Well stuff like this always happens when a new head is brought in.

My brother who works in Shell will be one of those at risk of being cut. Just sometime ago, I thought he had a great job, well paid and good benefits. I think this comes as no surprise but then, even as a pessimist, to me things have begun to turn around. Perhaps I was wrong. All the cash injection into the world economy might not have been enough.

Still the lesson here great as things are, it is always good to have a plan B. Or a plan C for that matter. The article is here. Develop your skills wherever you work and make those skill portable. If not, then make use of your free time and develop a hobby that can pay.

What about you? Do you have a plan B?

How to you create a cash machine either as side income or to be a main income? I can share with you a bit more in this article. As I write this, the biggest news is Michael Jackson’s death. Just in my last article title Rich and Stupid, there is a large picture of Neverland and I wrote about stars and super stars who are less than stellar when in comes to managing their money. I always maintain that it is not how much you make but how much you keep. Well, for MJ or others alike, it is not easy to hold onto money once they’ve made it. The saving grace for MJ is half the rights he hold on the Beetles’ song which are worth a ton of money. Besides that, I quite sure his family or executor or whoever will think of a way to build a lasting legacy aka like what Graceland did for Elvis.

This brings me to the topic at hand
