7 Levels of investors free ebook: https://bit.ly/2KMA4I7​ Making money through cash flow versus capital gains How do you currently make money? By going to your job every day and collecting a biweekly paycheck in exchange for your work? Most people make money this way because it's what they are taught to do by their parents or teachers. Also, it feels like a safe and secure path because it’s the traditional route. Well, what if I told you that there’s another way? Another path in life that doesn’t require you to trade time for money? A path that allows you to follow your passion, achieve financial freedom, and reach your life goals? Now I’ve piqued your interest, right? This path is precisely how the rich make their money — and it’s not from an hourly wage or salary. Instead, they make their money from their investments. In fact, the best way to make money is as an investor — but the question I’m often asked is: How do you make that money? If your monthly income as an investor does not come from a job, then where does it come from? Making Your Money Work for You If there’s one thing the rich do differently than the poor, it’s that they put their money to work instead of working for their money. What does that mean? Their money isn’t just sitting around in a savings account, accruing little-to-no interest, waiting for a rainy day. Their money is being invested — and delivering a return! Different investments produce different results. The question is, what results do you want? There are two primary outcomes an investor invests for: cash flow and capital gains The Advantage of Cash Flow versus Capital Gains Investing The best thing about cash flow is that it’s money flowing into your pocket on a continual basis — whether you're working or not. You could be on the golf course, jet-setting around the world, watching Netflix in your jammies, or building a business, and your money is busy working for you. And generally, cash-flow investing is based on fundamentals that aren't as susceptible to market swings like capital-gains investments, which means that even in bad times, money still flows into your pockets. Additionally, cash flow is what is known as passive income, which is the lowest taxed type of income. This is not always the case with capital gains taxes, which vary depending on the type of asset you've invested in and how long you've owned that asset. In some cases, taxes can be very high.
