A. Definition of Passive Income

Passive income is a type of income that is earned with little to no effort on the part of the recipient. It is a financial stream that requires little or no ongoing work to maintain and can provide a steady source of income over time.

Passive income is often contrasted with active income, which is earned through direct involvement in a trade or business. For example, a salary from a traditional job is considered active income, as it requires a direct exchange of time and effort for money. In contrast, passive income can be generated through a variety of sources, including investments, rental properties, online businesses, and royalties, among others.

There are several key characteristics of passive income that set it apart from other forms of income:

With passive income streams, individuals can earn money even when they are sleeping, traveling, or otherwise engaged in other activities.

For example, if an individual invests in rental properties, they will need to spend time and effort finding and purchasing the properties, managing the tenants, and maintaining the properties. However, once the properties are rented, the income from the rental payments is relatively passive and requires little ongoing effort.

Similarly, if an individual invests in dividend-paying stocks, they will need to do research to find the right stocks and make the initial investment. However, once the investment is made, the income from the dividends is relatively passive and requires little ongoing effort to maintain.

It's important to note that while passive income streams require little ongoing effort, they still require some level of effort and attention, particularly in the early stages of development. For example, an individual who invests
