Great way of thinking Felicia, it’s an interesting perspective. I try to think like this all the time too. Somehow it is very motivating, and makes financial freedom seem more attainable and easier to work towards. It’s hard work though…..as you already know. Assuming you earn $1.00 per Suite 101 article per month, it would take 10 Suite 101 articles at this rate to add $0.01 to your hourly rate. Keep on chipping away at it. I think you will make it a reality.

Great post. I think when you look at passive income that way, breaking it down per hour as a 24/7/365 endeavor, it really changes your perspective on the subject of pay and per hour averages. I think I’m making 21 cents an hour right now passively, but I’m also hitting a point where the earnings are really beginning to build up. The active freelancing is doing very well, so it’s that constant balance to keep motivated and improving. Thanks for sharing – this is a nice innovative way of looking at passive income and minimum wage.

I would hate to think what I made last year on an hourly basis, but you got me curious so I figured it out from the time I started the last week of May.

So, in 219 days I made $300. When divided by 24 hours each day turns out to be 5.7 cents per hour.

That is about a third of what you did, but then again, I am a part-timer. Almost tripling my hourly wage to 16 cents per hour would get me to just over $1400.

Interesting when you do the calculations like that. Thanks for the mental exercise.

Ryan, I’m glad you decided to take the plunge!

Sometimes the going can get a bit rough, but it’s sure worth it if you stick with it.

Felicia, you always put things in perspective

Yes, I agree with everything you said. Plus, I’d like to add that I’m so much HAPPIER working from home and freelancing. I look forward to every day bc I’m doing exactly what I want to do, make my own schedule, etc. I’m responsible for me. I love that.

Also, I loathe office politics and negativity. So it’s good to just go it alone and with help from this site to keep me motivated.
