wealthymatters.com One of the most important takeaways I got from reading Kiyosaki was becoming aware of the fact that there were different types of incomes and that people in different quadrants of the cashflow quadrant earn different types of incomes.The trick then was to earn from as many quadrants as possible and to especially increase my passive sources of income to such an extent that I could live off them only.That would be the day I no longer had to work to keep myself but work because I wanted to.

Here is a list of passive incomes I have stored on my desktop to periodically remind me of the sort of incomes I should be focused on building. Read more of this post

Laddering

Normally,for fixed income instruments , the interest rates corresponding to longer terms are higher than those for shorter terms.However,locking in money for longer periods is not always an option.One way of ensuring a greater degree of liquidity while taking advantage of the higher rates offered for the longer tenures is laddering.

If you want to create a 5 year ladder you could buy a 1year, 2year, 3year,4year and 5year instrument .Then after the first year,renew the matured 1 year instrument for a term of 5 years.Then the following year do the same with the matured 2year instrument.Continue the process.

Laddering ensures that at least some of the higher interest rates are locked in and that the average rate is higher than the rates at the lowest point in the interest rate cycle.

If you are drawing an income from your fixed income instruments say to pay or part pay you a pension,your EMIs,a tution fee or get some passive income,laddering smoothes out the variations.

Laddering is possible with bonds,NCDs,FDs,CDs etc.
