I love generating passive income. I currently use that income to make more income-generating investments. My goal is to eventually make enough income from passive sources to cover my routine living expenses. That will remove the stress of having to work to pay the bills, making me much more financially independent. I have a long way to go, which is why I continue to make additional income-generating investments when I have cash to spare.

Many people view Social Security as a plan that forces individuals to save for their retirement. That view is mostly correct.

It might seem intimidating to buy stocks as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hover near their all-time highs. After all, Warren Buffett told investors to be "fearful when others are greedy" -- and plenty of high-growth stocks are trading at greedy valuations. So if you plan to invest at least $50,000 in this frothy market, you should carefully seek out the market leaders that are still expanding, have wide moats, and look undervalued relative to their growth potential.
