How to Make Your Income More Passive (3)
on Frugal Dad (7) permalinkphoto by heydrienne Gone are the days of thirty year careers and an anti-climatic send-off with a gold watch. Increased labor competition, an economy shifting away from manufacturing and towards service, and a basic impatience from Generations X and Y have just about done away with the idea of retiring on a pension from a working lifetime with one employer.

- Michelle Thompson said: Never looked into Google Bookmarks before, as I use Foxmarks to synchronise across multiple Firefox browsers. However, after trying Del.icio.us today, and realising how much work it is to share (can't seem to multiple select) my imports, maybe Google Bookmarks is worth a look - especially as I use Notebook.
