Passive income is a money stream that 
requires little or no continuous effort. As a 
business model, it’s largely self-sustaining; 
often, passive income involves some kind of 
upfront or initial investment that generates 
long-term steady gains.

Passive income is the opposite of active 
income. With active income, you are paid for

Financial investments include a range of 
options, such as investing in the stock market, 
mutual funds, bonds, and peer lending, and 
they require minor follow-up work as they 
accrue interest. Work with a financial advisor 
to figure out the best investment options for 
you.
