Passive income is income that requires little to no effort to earn and maintain. It is called progressive passive income when the earner expends little effort to grow the income. Examples of passive income include rental income and any business activities in which the earner does not materially participate.
Now, it’s easy to think of passive income as money earned while sitting on a beach sipping mojito, but there is a lot of work involved. But, if you’re worried about being able to save enough of your earnings to meet your retirement goals, building wealth through passive income is a strategy that might appeal to you.
Hopefully the first question you’re asking yourself, “why even create a passive income revenue stream in the first place?”
Your income is your greatest wealth-building tool—a tool that typically requires your active participation in the form of a full-time job. Even if you love your job, we at Pries Capital – An Investment Firm are willing to bet you wouldn’t mind earning some extra income without the blood, sweat, tears, and time commitment of another job. In fact, there are several benefits in creating a passive income revenue stream:
- Increases your building a legacy of wealth plan
- Creates an opportunity to retire early
- Protects you from a complete loss of income if you lose your job
- Provides an additional source of income when you’re no longer able to work or if you outlive your retirement fund
We know, the second question you’re asking yourself is, “how much money can I make?”
Passive income generally won’t make you wealthy overnight, so forget about any get-rich-quick schemes you’ve heard of. But steady, profitable passive income options can build some serious money over the long run. We’re talking anywhere from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars—depending on the income stream.
Stock Market
The whole idea behind long-term investing is to create income for retirement. Think about passive income as a type of low-effort income that can be accessed at any time.
Real Estate
One way to build passive income is by purchasing real estate and renting it out to tenants. Rental properties are the greatest source of extra income.
