A car for example, will always need parts for repair. This is a recurring income for parts manufacturers. It needs fuel, hence another recurring income for oil producers.

Owning a second house however that is not generating income will become a liability. No two assets are equal and like everything in life risks are involved. For example owning real estate isn\u2019t equal to owning a stock. The benefits, cost and ownership objectives are different. Real estate for example is not liquid compared to stocks and more cost are associated to it. But earnings can be consistent. Investment in assets is the best way to becoming financial independent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675311; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 1092px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=cvijamaica\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Financial independence is the state in which an individual or household is capable of surviving without the need of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,18,93],"tags":[83,36,216,163,218,217,111,215,103,42,41],"class_list":["post-593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-jamaica","category-value-investing-education","tag-assets","tag-caribbean","tag-debt","tag-economy","tag-emanacipation","tag-independence","tag-jamaica","tag-liabilities","tag-real-estate","tag-stock-market","tag-stocks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
