I’m not rich, I’m no gambler and I know so little about stock exchange that I don’t feel comfortable investing on it. Anyway after seeing what happened to one of my brothers when he decided to invest on the stock exchange, I would never do it. During the time I was living in Belgium I had some funds deposited in an emigrant-savings account but the interest earned was very small…

Not really Aug 25, 2018

I have an IRA and a SEPP account, but they never increased very much in value. Now that I'm older, I am required to draw down on them, but the amounts are small.

For me, the only reliable and interesting way I to generate an income stream is to translate or edit.
