Passive Income Makes No Sense

From a book called The Road Less Stupid

Passive income makes about as much sense as passive health or passive relationships.

You would scoff at the idea of a passive weight loss technique or a passive gold medal in the Olympics or a passive marriage.

But financial shamans write hundreds of these books every year counting on you to lurch to the door marked “Something for Nothing.”

Next time you see someone selling a course that promises to get you quickly earning $10,000 a month starting from scratch, apply the same claim to sports and see how ridiculous it sounds…

“This course will teach you how to become a pro tennis player in 6 weeks, even if you’ve never picked up a racket before!”
