LIVING OFF DIVIDENDS & PASSIVE INCOME

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

It also happens to be my birthday and since I haven’t been in India on my birthday for over a decade, I thought I’d celebrate in style this year. Accordingly, I’m throwing a “small” party for 75 people. Luckily, India is a lot cheaper than the US, so a catered party for this many people on the terrace of a smallish, but exclusive, country club runs under $400!

Anyway, gotta rush – hope everyone has a great day!
