The appeal of passive income

It’s misleading and overrated. We’re all being lead to think passive income is an easy way to an awful six-figures of free loading cash.

Came across an article that sums it up nicely yesterday. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’d rather start a business the good old way and actually see things happening than blindly pay someone to do the “leg work” for me.

I’ve got a few ideas. I am hoping our retirement doesn’t mean we’ll become hermits or useless. I really don’t see myself always at a loose end. I want to enjoy my retirement free time, but also feel busy.

Where the younger generation is looking for a lazy life, we’re looking for a full and somewhat busy (AND social) end of life. I wouldn’t want to get stuck working solely remotely, as convenient as that may sound. I can see myself running a small shop or a rural setting Zen retreat of a sort…

The new generations are now born into that mentality, becoming very reserved and geeky. Social may soon be scarce… How boring that all sounds 😝

I think I’d be a great host. Well, a girl can dream…
