Passive Income

Income that keeps coming without ongoing hour-for-hour work.

Passive income is money that arrives without trading your time for it directly — dividends from investments are a classic example. Building sources of passive income is a core idea behind financial independence, and dividends reinvested during childhood are an early, gentle introduction to it.
