Personal And Financial Freedom With Passive Income 0

Hey, I found this great arti­cle that gives an intro­duc­tion to the types of pas­sive income, the taxes that cover it, and some resid­ual income opportunities.

It’s a great read espe­cially if you’re new to pas­sive income. I hope you find this arti­cle beneficial.

Intro­duc­tion to Passive Income

How to Make Money By Cre­at­ing Pas­sive Income

The eas­i­est way to gain finan­cial inde­pen­dence is to recon­fig­ure your life so that a sub­stan­tial por­tion of your income is not actively earned by your labor. Instead, it must come from what those in finance call pas­sive income. In fact, the idea of pas­sive income is closely related to the Berk­shire Hath­away model, which I explain in an ear­lier feature.

The basic idea of pas­sive income is that it is money received with lit­tle or no effort required to main­tain the flow of income once the ini­tial work has been done. Some com­mon exam­ples of pas­sive income are:

  • Rent from real estate properties
  • Patent roy­al­ties for an invention
  • Trade­mark licens­ing fees for char­ac­ters or brands you’ve created
  • Roy­al­ties from books, songs, pub­li­ca­tions, or other orig­i­nal works
  • Prof­its from busi­nesses in which you have lit­tle or no day-to-day role or responsibility
  • Earn­ings from Inter­net adver­tise­ments in a blog or on a web­site you own
  • Div­i­dends from stocks, REITs, equity mutual funds, or other equity securities
  • Inter­est from own­ing bonds, cer­tifi­cates of deposit, other other cash and cash equivalents
  • Pen­sions
  • Resid­ual income for a sales per­son on accounts that are typ­i­cally renewed auto­mat­i­cally such as a sport­ing goods rep­re­sen­ta­tive that earns a com­mis­sion on his accounts, bring­ing in a few thou­sand dol­lars per store per year for sim­ply ser­vic­ing the cus­tomers once they have been opened
