MY MONEY MULTIPLYING FORMULA

Just in case somebody wonders how I make my money, or how filthy rich I am, here's the answer:

I have multiple income streams and no, I'm not as rich as I was once, not because of the economy or financial blunders, but because I don't really bother, nor care to. Plus - why not? - I like to spend on stuff. Cool stuff.

I've never been someone to run after money, no matter what. I just went with the inspiration. If I felt to venture into the business world, I did. If not, I was equally happy - if not happier - just to be an artist. Even if that meant making much less money. However, even then, I had multiple streams of revenue, considering the royalties from my creative work and dividends or rent from properties I owned.

Now, despite of what's going on in the world and gloomy financial forecasts, I am at a point in life where I want to make it as smooth and fun for myself as it can be. Maybe I could retire, but I like to be active in a creative, meaningful way. Didn't I mention I like to go with the inspiration?

I may take a job or a client, but only if I like the environment, the person, or what I'm doing. I have to enrich my soul and mind first and foremost, otherwise it's not for me. But what I prefer to do is my own thing. And thanks to the internet that keeps taking the middlemen out of business, I have been doing just that for 25 years.

Right now, I focus on what is most fun and easy for me to do: dropshipping, stocks, crypto, precious metals, and content creation. And if you also wonder what are my preferred platforms, here they are:

• Appscenic, for dropshipping, the #1 B2B2C Marketplace in the world, both for wholesalers and retailers.

• Stash (quite beginner friendly) for stocks, where you are in control to choose exactly what company or industry to support with your money. Better than a 401K, in my opinion.

• Coinbase for crypto, where you have fun and get paid in crypto for learning about crypto... Isn't that something?

• Acre Gold for, obviously, gold. Where anyone with at least $30/month to spare can subscribe and quickly accumulate the precious metal over time.

• Hostinger for my websites, the best I could find, both as features and pricing. And, of course, I also spread the content I create on all the social media platforms that matter.

• BONUS! Being hyperactive, I cannot sit still, even on a break. So, I still make money, playing games on my phone. With FreeCash, a site where you get paid to test apps and games, take surveys and more. You can withdraw to gift cards, your bank, PayPal, or crypto wallet. And this is how I fund my Coinbase and Acre Gold accounts.

• NOTE: Signing up through the links above may come with incentives for you and certainly with affiliate commissions for me. Also, on some of these websites, I use my maiden name, Adina Chivulescu. So, don't freak out. You're in the right place.

More about all the above and other platforms in future posts.

This was a glimpse into my money multiplying formula. Now some may sleep better at night or not after knowing what's in my wallet and where it's coming from. However, keep in mind I provide information and not financial advice. Just so you can get another honest opinion among others, before you dive into the mirific realm of self-employment - a wonderland where methods come with risks, but you are the one to make the miracles and, if you do, reap the rewards.

Happy playing entrepreneur!
