This week, I had to make a move that I never plan for… but always prepare for.

I soldĀ 40 shares of RUM at $8.60Ā to pay some bills.


šŸ’” Why Am I Sharing This?

Because too many people on these finance pages only show you:

  • Their wins
  • Their green days
  • Their perfect, uninterrupted growth

That’s not real life.
Real life sends you a random bill on a random Tuesday. Real life says ā€œHey, I need $340 right now.ā€


šŸ”» What Happened to My Machine?

Here’s the straight breakdown:

  • Before the sale:Ā I had just under 241 shares
  • Sold:Ā 40 shares @ $8.60
  • After the sale:Ā ~201 shares left

Am I sad about it? Honestly, not really.

Because this is why I build the machine in the first place.


🧠 Why I’m Not Worried

Here’s what changed:

  • My snowball isĀ slightlyĀ smaller
  • My plan isĀ exactlyĀ the same

I still have:

  • āœ…Ā 200+ sharesĀ (enough to keep running two covered calls)
  • āœ…Ā $9 callĀ expiring July 18th
  • āœ…Ā $8 callĀ expiring October 17th

And I still have:

  • āœ… My weekly $25 deposits stacking new shares
  • āœ… Premiums coming in to lower my cost basis further
  • āœ… A mindset focused onĀ building the machine, not chasing a quick win

🧾 This Is What Real Passive Income Looks Like

People think passive income is:

  • Sitting on a beach
  • Doing nothing
  • Magically rich

But real passive income is:

āœ… Building a snowball
āœ… Letting it roll
āœ… Using it when life demands cash
āœ… Rebuilding it right after

That’s true freedom — the ability to cash out a piece of your machine without killing it entirely.


šŸ”® What’s Next?

Now I keep it simple:

  • Continue weekly RUM buys
  • Let Theta decay my open calls
  • Stack premiums and shares back up to replace those 40 shares… and beyond

šŸ Final Thought

This week reminded me why I do this.

Because life will always send bills.

And I’d rather have a RUMble Engine paying them than put them on a credit card.
