Active and passive income

🎯 Goal: Tell apart the two kinds of income and their meaning.
You tell apart active income (from work you do) and passive (comes in without constant work); the long-term goal is building passive income to rely less on labor.

Let’s explore

💼
Active income: money from work you do directly (salary, part-time).
🌙
Passive income: money that comes in even when you are not working constantly (interest, dividends, royalties).
🎯
A long-term goal for many: build passive income to rely less on labor.
