My sources of income.

According to the three ideas that are fundamental for my personal finances, I earn money from different sources.

Currently, my primary and main source of income is regular job. I work as a software developer and data analyst in one of European company serving marketing solutions. I’m pretty happy with it; I have already gained a lot of experience during work at the company, met a lot of interesting people and had a lot of fun. The main disadvantage is obvious, regular job takes a lot of time. Therefore, in future I would like to quit 9 till 5 work style at all. Of course to do so, I have to develop my other sources of income to the level, when they will fully cover my expenses.

Trading at stock market is both my passion and source of income. Actually, it had been my passion for a very long time and it has become source of income since December 2007. Earlier I usually had poor results which mean I was losing money. Those were due to my high degree of greed and almost complete lack of knowledge about investing. Currently, I’m quite happy with my results.

Deposits are my third source. It is very safe way to generate income, but of course it is very slow and you have to put a lot of money in order to get satisfying profit. My bank offers deposits with 5% – 5,50 % rate of return, which with my current equities covers my outgoings to the cinema. Anyway I find it as an interesting option for my finances.

In past, I was freelancing to a limited extend. I did some PowerPoint presentations, small websites or some scripting. Nowadays, I find it less interesting as my heart push me to focus on investments and writing.

Last, but not least is my personal blog. Of course, I have just started it and I am not focused on monetizating it so strong, but I expect that it will generate some income. I checked Google Adsense Center and it indicates that visitors clicked 6 times into Adsense unit. Great success for the very beginning.
