The Wealth Builder Carnival #15

Welcome to fifteenth edition of The Wealth Builder Carnival. The purpose of this carnival is to collect articles from the blogosphere on building, preserving and keeping enough wealth for a comfortable retirement. For reference, I have tried to keep the carnival content tightly focused on wealth building and did not include submissions that were off topic.

For reading convenience, I have listed the posts with brief summaries by the authors and organized them into seven categories: Earning, Investing, Insuring and Protecting, Living Frugally, Retiring, Saving and Taxes.

And now onto the Carnival:

Earning

Creating Passive Income on the Side - "Stop trading hours for dollars. Focus instead on creating passive income on the side. Consider niche content websites, or engage in other side gigging that generate residual income on auto pilot. Passive income streams can be established in pretty much any profession or discipline."

Insuring and Protecting
