The end of March and the beginning of April have flown by me.  It seems like every day I get some new task that eats up a day of my life.<\/p>\n<p>For example, my son lost a lens of his glasses while we were traveling.  His backup pair got cleaned up somehow, so tracking down a company that can make the unusual prescription was quite the hassle.  So much for decades of hearing \u201cLensCrafters\u2026 glasses in about an hour.\u201d  They, like nearly everyone else, could only promise 7-10 business days.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I\u2019ve done some personal\/family updates, but I\u2019ve started writing this over a week after I would like to have it published.  I\u2019ll quickly mention that I turned 50 in March, then get to the numbers.<\/p>\n<h2>Setting Goals for 2025<\/h2>\n<p>I put all my goals in a spreadsheet that I <strike>stole<\/strike> borrowed from <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/retireby40.org\/\">Retire By 40<\/a>.  Here\u2019s what it looks like for this year:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/lazy-man-goal-progress-202603.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/lazy-man-goal-progress-202603.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"550\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13144 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/lazy-man-goal-progress-202603.png 996w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/lazy-man-goal-progress-202603-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/lazy-man-goal-progress-202603-768x424.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 996px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 996\/550;\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Click it, and it will open in a new tab.)<\/p>\n<p>Steal this idea and make it yours.  I always make a bunch of goals that I know I\u2019ll never complete.  It gives me the flexibility to fail on some things as long as I\u2019m making progress on others.  Most people would do the opposite, focus on fewer goals, and aim to get them all done.  It\u2019s much less overwhelming.  I\u2019m unusual.<\/p>\n<h2>Passive Income<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8259\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2019\/06\/PassiveIncomePyramid-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Passive Income Pyramid\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8259 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2019\/06\/PassiveIncomePyramid-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2019\/06\/PassiveIncomePyramid-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2019\/06\/PassiveIncomePyramid-1024x820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2019\/06\/PassiveIncomePyramid.jpg 1348w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/240;\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/passive-income-pyramid\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Passive Income Pyramid<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I used to have three side hustles with a passive component: a dog-sitting business, this blog, and a website I manage for a non-profit.  They all required some active work.  However, I could do them all even while working a full-time job.  I considered those partially passive income.  This blog and the retainer for the non-profit website are minimal, so consider it almost all dog boarding.<\/p>\n<h3>Dog Boarding\/Website Income<\/h3>\n<p>This is the least passive of all incomes. I only count this as 50% passive. Dog sitting has been very steady over the last few years.  It\u2019s been close to $50,000.  The biggest variable is how much we travel.  I can\u2019t board dogs while I am away.<\/p>\n<p>March\u2019s Dog\/Web Real Income: $2,601.67<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is that the dog business is down around around 30% this year.  The good news is that March was a little better than previous Marches since we took a shorter vacation.<\/p>\n<h3>Rental Property Income<\/h3>\n<p>We have two rental properties.  Both still have mortgages, and the rental income is around $1,100\/mo.  One mortgage is done in 2027.  The other one is a small loan, but it has another 15 years on it.  If they were both mortgage-free, we\u2019d make around $32,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>For the purpose of this report, I calculate the rental property income using the following formula:<\/p>\n<p><b>(Rents After Estimated Expenses) * (Equity Percentage Owned) = Income)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The idea is that we only own a percentage of the equity, so I should only count that percentage of the rent after expenses.  When we own everything, the equity percentage will be 100%, and the rent will be after expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Estimated expenses are insurance, property taxes, condo fees, and <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/how-much-is-condo-maintenance\/\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated condo maintenance<\/a>.  Equity Percentage Owned (EPO) is our total equity divided by the property value on Zillow.  (Zillow is very accurate for our condos.)  When the mortgages are paid off, we\u2019ll have an EPO of 100% and be able to keep all the rent after estimated expenses.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Zillow estimated our properties were worth $6,500 more.  We also paid off almost $1,000 in mortgage principal.  That meant our EPO went from owning 84.14% of our properties to 84.48%.  The rents after expenses are $2,900\/month.  Using the equation above, our estimated income from this area would be $2,448.  That\u2019s up from $2,438 in February. This number almost always moves slowly, so this is actually a nice gain.<\/p>\n<p>Managing rental properties requires some work \u2013 a few days a year.  For this reason, I only count 80% of this number as passive income.<\/p>\n<h3>Dividend Income<\/h3>\n<p>My wife and I have been nearly maxing out our retirement accounts for a couple of decades.  The markets have done very well over that time.  Overall, we have a nice retirement nest egg.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t track dividends from all the accounts.  I\u2019m doing well to get my wife to log in to her TSP (the government\u2019s version of a 401k) account and give me the totals.  I simply assume we could invest the money into an ETF that pays a 2.5% dividend.  For example, HDV, a high-dividend ETF, currently yields 3.01%.<\/p>\n<p>I also have profit-sharing income with a private company in which I own a small stake.  I get a check each month that behaves like a dividend \u2013 it\u2019s just taxed a little differently.<\/p>\n<p>March\u2019s estimated dividend income was  $5,897.  In February, it  was $5,949. The war in Iran, with crazy oil prices, has been making it hard for the market to do much.  I actually expected it to be a lot worse.  It may be several months or longer to move on from this, but when we do, I expect the market to jump significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the previous two sections, this income is 100% passive.  For this reason, I don\u2019t have to adjust the numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Total Passive Income<\/h3>\n<p>Dog\/Etc.:  $2,601 \u2013 Adjusted to $1,300<br \/>Rentals: $2,448 \u2013 Adjusted to $1,958<br \/>Dividends: $5,897 \u2013 Remains at $5,897<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1159\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13143 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-1024x464.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-768x348.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-1536x695.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-202603-2048x927.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1159;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dogs\/Etc \u2013 Blue Line<br \/>Rental \u2013 Red Line<br \/>Dividend \u2013 Yellow Line<\/p>\n<p><b>Total Adjusted Passive Income: $9,156<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a graph of the adjusted passive income since 2017, when I started keeping track:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1131\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13142 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-1024x452.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-768x339.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-1536x679.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/images\/posts\/2026\/04\/passive-income-streams-12month-202603-2048x905.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1131;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The blue line represents the monthly total adjusted passive income.  The Red Line represents the 12-month average.  This removes some of the seasonality of dog boarding.  That\u2019s the important one.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the month\u2019s numbers were very average, that very important red line above continues to hit new highs.  In the long run, dog boarding will be nothing, but in the meantime, investments are supporting an increasing share of the income.<\/p>\n<p>My wife continues to work as well.  She has 27 years of high-level military service.  That means she\u2019s vested in a pension that would double all this passive income.  I also earn some income that falls outside of the areas listed above.  It\u2019s not passive, so I don\u2019t mention it here.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t think of anywhere else to put this information, but our net worth lost 0.51% last month.  For the year, our net worth is up 0.98%.  The stock market has moved more in a few days this year than in the past few years combined.<\/p>\n<h2>Business and Other Money Goals<\/h2>\n<h3>Personal Income ($80,000)<\/h3>\n<p>My income has been dropping over the last few years, going from $98K to 488K to $81K.  Last year, I stayed mostly the same at $80,593.<\/p>\n<p>As I get closer to retirement, I\u2019m more than happy to keep pursuing the same goal.<\/p>\n<p>In March, I made around $4,581.  For the year, I\u2019m at $13,071.  It\u2019s around 52K.  That won\u2019t get me to $80K.  Fortunately, dog boarding ramps up in the summer months.  I don\u2019t know if it will be enough, though.<\/p>\n<h3>Improve My Dog Boarding Website and Operations<\/h3>\n<p>I can\u2019t remember doing anything to improve the website or operations.  I have a whole list of stuff to do, but I was too busy to get to most of it.<\/p>\n<h3>AI Everything<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve been reading <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4vtq9u0\">Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway<\/a> (affiliate link).  A friend recommended it to me, and it is great.  I highly recommend it if you are a young man or the parent of a young man.  My wife is interested in reading it.  It covers the life lessons the author has learned, including many of his own faults.  Most people don\u2019t talk about that stuff, and it\u2019s very blunt and straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>For the AI aspect, I\u2019ve been working with Claude and ChatGPT to distill the main ideas of this book and several others into a consolidated guide to a \u201cbest life.\u201d  I want to set aside 20 minutes a day to go over one aspect with my own kids.  For example, one topic could be the importance of grit.  I have no grit, so I\u2019m going to take the Galloway approach and be honest that it\u2019s something that I need to work on myself.<\/p>\n<p>Little projects like these that pop into my head and lead to the above section being, \u201cI can\u2019t remember doing anything to improve the website or operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Health<\/h2>\n<p>I hit the big 5-0.  For my health goals, I\u2019m mostly using this <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/setting-health-goals-for-2025\/\">separate article about health goals<\/a> from last year.<\/p>\n<h3>Weight and Body Fat (Lean-(fat*2) mass &gt;60)<\/h3>\n<p>My goal this year is to add lean mass while losing fat mass.  It took me a long time to figure out how to create a formula for that.  I settled on the formula: lean mass minus 2\u00d7fat mass.  This penalizes me if I add weight that\u2019s a bunch of fat.<\/p>\n<p>My weight this month was 173.3 lbs, and my body fat was 23.6%.  That means my lean mass was 132.4, and my fat mass was 40.9 lbs.  This is a score of 50.6 using my formula.  Last month, my average weight was 172.9lbs, and my body fat was 23.2%.  That was a score of 52.6.<\/p>\n<p>Higher is better, and I moved in the wrong direction.  I am not surprised, though.  My kids\u2019 school break is in March, and we usually travel then.  We went to Aruba, and I ate about 5 cows\u2019 worth of steak.  I was more active, but it wasn\u2019t enough.  I\u2019m spending most of April making up for it.<\/p>\n<p>My goal of getting this number to 60 could be achieved by losing 169 lbs and having a body fat of 21.5% .  That might not be too ambitious, but changing one\u2019s body composition is hard!<\/p>\n<h3>Body and Brain Points (300 and 225 respectively)<\/h3>\n<p>I rate my diet from 1 (poor) to 5 (great) each week.  It\u2019s mostly a gut feel for how the week went.<\/p>\n<p>I used to do the same for exercise, but I\u2019m switching that up to use Heart Points from my Pixel Watch.  This is more honest than my gut feeling and just as easy for me to use.<\/p>\n<p>I add both scores for the month to get Body Points.<\/p>\n<p>With the weather improving, I\u2019m getting a little more active.  My diet has been just average, though.  I have 32 diet points and 24 body points, for a total of 56 points.<\/p>\n<p>I measure brain points on the same scale.  They are based on doing things like Duolingo (Japanese, Esperanto, Spanish, and Chess), and the NY Times puzzles (Wordle, Strands, and Connections).  I want to include more creative stuff, such as drawing and\/or music.  Until I add those, I\u2019m likely to max out at 4 points per week by doing all the previous stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t had time to add anything else yet, so it\u2019s still 4 a week because I have these down pretty well.<\/p>\n<h3>Blood Pressure (Goal: 115\/75)<\/h3>\n<p>I started measuring my blood pressure every day (sometimes twice a day) last year.  It was too high.  However, it was never high in the doctor\u2019s office, so my doctor gave me the lowest dose of medication.  I got this <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4kGzOZd\">blood pressure monitor<\/a> and it tracks it over time in an app.  I brought this to my doctor, and she upped my medication by a tiny bit.  That link to the device is an affiliate link, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>In March, my blood pressure was 135\/81.  In February, it was 138\/83.  That\u2019s a little better.  At the beginning of April, my doctor approved a slightly higher dose of my medicine.<\/p>\n<h3>Doctor Appointments<\/h3>\n<p>I had a cleaning at the dentist, which concluded a string of four straight monthly visits.  After the appointment, they tried to book me six months out, but realized that they had no appointments left in 2026.  They wouldn\u2019t give me one in 2027, so they just put me on an emergency cancel text list that starts in October.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d switch to a different dentist, but my last three dentists didn\u2019t know how to bill military insurance and would end up sending bills to my house.  I had to mediate them for hours after every visit, which shouldn\u2019t be my job.<\/p>\n<h3>Longevity Research (40 hours)<\/h3>\n<p>I didn\u2019t do much longevity research in March.  I put in one hour as a default, because I\u2019m sure I came across some news stories.  They obviously made an impact, since I can\u2019t remember them.<\/p>\n<h2>Hobbies<\/h2>\n<p> Most of my hobbies will focus on the AI idea above.  Here are a couple of others that I am working on.<\/p>\n<p> <b>3D Printing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The kids keep 3D printing, but it\u2019s the same old stuff.  I want them to create some new stuff with TynkerCAD or something.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Play a modern song on a ukulele<\/b><\/p>\n<p> So far, no work on the ukulele.  It sits tucked away under a table.  I would bring it out so that it would be in view, and I\u2019d be encouraged to play it.  If I did that, it wouldn\u2019t be long before my wife hid it back under the table to eliminate the clutter.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Year-to-Date Progress<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give myself a few points for getting the 3D printing back working (it\u2019s been broken a few times).<\/p>\n<h2>Family<\/h2>\n<p> <b>Declutter and Organize House<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t declutter much, but I\u2019m counting another household upgrade in here.  Our wifi has been having issues with dead spots throughout the house.  I didn\u2019t understand why it would suddenly not work.  The mesh network had great coverage in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out that we\u2019ve added too many devices that compete for wifi in the house.  The wifi 5 standard simply wasn\u2019t good enough.  I upgraded to 7, and it\u2019s been excellent.  Hopefully, this will future-proof us for another 7-10 years.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Travel<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We are still planning our trips; we do that throughout the year.  In March, we went to Aruba for my 50th birthday.  Aruba is easy for us because we own a timeshare.  It wasn\u2019t our week, but we had sold off the right to use it last year, so we could just use that money.  I had only been in the October to December season, usually late November.  It was much busier in March.  All the cheap car rentals were sold out, so  we just skipped the car and took a taxi everywhere.  I estimate that we saved a couple of hundred dollars.<\/p>\n<p>I had originally planned to go to Japan for my 50th, but I was only 70% prepared, so we\u2019re going to try it next year.  Ironically, we still have to flesh out a couple more trips this year, so I may be too late on Japan again.<\/p>\n<h2>Kids<\/h2>\n<p>The kids are at the age now (12 and 13) where they either love each other or hate each other.  They are either working well together or getting into big fights.<\/p>\n<p>This past month, my oldest decided that he\u2019d just ride his bike to play practice across town without telling us.  It\u2019s probably normal for many 13-year-olds, but he just started learning last year and only went around our dead-end cul-de-sac a few times.<\/p>\n<p>For a little backstory, I never learned to ride a bike. Well, I could do some basic circles, like around a track on a smooth surface.  I didn\u2019t trust myself on the streets with traffic.  I\u2019ve let my wife take the reins on teaching the kids, and a few years ago, they went out a few times, but nothing in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>It was fairly annoying to have lost a kid, but he\u2019s pretty responsible and loves play practice, so we were able to put it together quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In March, I also finished signing the kids up for camps.  I also spent a lot of time filling out a scholarship application to a four-year private high school.  It was like applying to college.  It\u2019s super competitive, but you miss 100% of the shots that you don\u2019t take.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Life is just a whirlwind now.  I\u2019ve been struggling to find the time to get this out, and I have to turn around and write my annual Earth Day article.  I don\u2019t know how people with real jobs do it.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n xmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n xmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\"> <rdf:Description rdf:about=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/my-passive-income-and-life-goals-update-march-2026\/\"\n dc:identifier=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/my-passive-income-and-life-goals-update-march-2026\/\"\n dc:title=\"My Passive Income and Life Goals Update (March 2026)\"\n trackback:ping=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/my-passive-income-and-life-goals-update-march-2026\/trackback\/\" \/> <\/rdf:RDF>--><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every month, I write an article that shows my passive income and my growth toward my life goals.
