Relying On One Income Stream Is Risky

One of the main reason why people are having financial difficulty is they rely on single income source. As prices rise and the cost of living increases, relying on a single source of income is very risky. Even when you are earning well, one paycheck may only cover basic expenses, and you might not be able to save and invest to build long-term wealth. Therefore, start creating multiple income streams based on your skills and interests.

Relying on one income stream (usually a job) puts your financial well-being in the hands of a single employer, market condition, or industry trend. If that source fails—due to layoffs, illness. you risk losing everything at once

It really is risky to rely on just one source of income. Anything can go wrong in an instant. For instance, today my father was rushed to the emergency room after hitting his head. He was bleeding and needed to be admitted, especially since he is also a dialysis patient.
