My name is Scott, I’m a 35 year old father of two, and married to a beautiful woman for 12 years. For over 10 years, I’ve worked for one of the largest investment firms and some smaller boutique companies in the bay area. I have been fortunate to see wealth created on a daily basis and watch companies make millions of dollars for private families. Unfortunately, I have also witnessed the complete opposite. I have experienced friends and family struggling to make ends meet, unable to pay personal loans, face home foreclosure, and even bankruptcy.

I have worked for several large banks and brokerage firms over the last 12 years. Some were wonderful opportunities for growth, and others gave me opportunities to dream of creating multiple passive income opportunities. Working for money managers and brokerage firms gave me a unique perspective to find out how wealth was created. Not necessarily how it was invested, but how client wealth was created. This was a big motivation for me, and gave me a big push to create this blog.

Currently I’m a WAHD (Work at home dad) who loves spending time at home with my two children and helping friends find creative ways to make more money. My wife and I also struggled with debt early in our marriage and found a great method to deal with our growing debt. More can be found here. Some of the methods are simple like creating a family budget, and others will take a little more effort. This allowed us to focus on short term goals like an emergency savings account, and also set a long term goal of contributing to a 529 college savings account.

I am always looking for fun creative ways to earn passive income or alternative income and would love to hear from you. Please submit a comment on one of my posts, or send me an email: thepassivedad @ gmail dot com.
