Seems you're nothing but a salesman as well (from what you listed there, I don't know what your "day job" is). Yes, of course, some of those are more "passive" than others, but they are all rooted in sales. Maybe the other(s) you didn't list are not so sales-y. Do you mind sharing what they are?

Bringing your wife up in that way is not cool unless you're friends just joshing. If not, KRoyal you're coming across like a Chihuahua barking.

You guys need to leave Shane alone

Status quo...Kyle is young. Everyone else we jus playin.

Note: dang dog just got hit by a skunk again tonight so my attention has been elsewhere actually.

He made his bed. They obviously do not care for eachother.

Get a fat stack, find something that pays interests to you at a good apr, have it automatically return Apr gains back in. Compounding apr. Ignore it for a few years or keep putting extra funds in. Pretty passive way to make gains and eventually the Apr returns have some fair side cash

Oil wells, wind energy, REIT’s, bond ladders, and dividend stocks, those are all pretty damn passive.

My passive income is rocking like a riot.

These are proper examples of true passive income. A lot of people think (or thought before this eviction moratorium madness) that rental properties, particularly residential, are passive, but when stuff starts breaking (A/C, roof) it becomes very much "active". You can hire a management company, but as my youngest daughter and her husband are finding out on some far away properties they own, your share of the rent turns out to be a pittance. Commercial properties (again, before the China virus pandemic) are a little better because a lot of them are still, traditionally, a triple-net lease, meaning the tenant takes care of all repairs. But I wouldn't touch commercial property with a ten-foot pole right now.

These same kids of mine told me they've put a small investment in a company that calls around and tries to get people to sell their mineral interests, just like the calls and letters I hang up on and shred almost weekly. I didn't comment; 'seems a bit unseemly and unethical, but there might be a situation where it's not taking advantage of someone that just doesn't know any better.

I know a guy that owns a nice rv park that is not passive income. That guy works

Meh I’m a [censored] salesman and I guess those aren’t “passive” incomes because I’m always hustling doing something. Can’t stand to sit still.

As for my day job same as you just with less SIEM I’m guessing.

Maybe you should look back at the rest of the thread. I didn’t bring up his wife, he did and posted a picture of her. I couldn’t give a [censored] less what or who he is married to. He brought it up not me.

Wow! I put a lot of value on a good salesman, they're damn hard to find. If you produce a product you eventually will need a sales department and you'll go through quite a few before you find the good ones. There's only so much one person can do. Get a couple of good ones in there and they can take a lot of your headaches away. Sales is a hard job and not many can do it but the ones that can will make a lot of money. The two I had both have started their own companies and doing quite well since we sold out. Truth is most people don't have the skills, drive and determination to make it in sales.

So far you've come across as a real jerk in this thread and not somebody I would care to do business with no matter the product. You see how this works, you are your own worst salesman and you limit yourself. A good salesman would know better. Some people are just not meant for sale, I'm certainly not. We let our emotion take over and the end result is always bad, a good salesman knows this and protects your customers from you.

Yep, Shane started this and I intend to engage him every chance I get.

That was a pot shot at Shane. I don’t really have anything against salesman. Although being a salesman is a useless skill if the world ever went to [censored]. His Viking haircut ain’t gonna save him without real skills.

Like Moose pointed out half of my “passive” income comes from sales type jobs and I do it all myself no need to hire it out.

4th graders arguing on the playground.

That's not being passive. I know you can do better.

I thought passive income was mailbox money, open mailbox cash check. No effort.
Storage units or boat & RV storage sounds good.

We have some friends who did this just this past month. Bought a place to VRBO down there in the Keys. It was investment and a lifestyle option only as they will retire at their Lake McQueeney residence. We are supposed to get down there when he buys a boat. As time progresses, I may be able to tell you how it is working for them.

From what I understand you will like it there. Better chances for you to be noticed and not so overshadowed by your frau. Do not wear toe nail polish which is too aggressive.

I edited my post before I saw this one but it still stands even more so than before. Your comment is a excellent example of why I said "A good salesman protects the customers from you"

of my choices to choose from.

My parents got into iron and steel. My momma took in ironing and my daddy stole.

This has always been my plan. I’m just having a hard time getting that fat stack.

As someone who quit this corporate life almost a year ago, it is a shock to your system, be very prepared. I have a partner in a software that we have been developing for the past 4 years. Took the plunge last October and we are still pumping cash into it, but I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are turning revenue, and hope to soon be profitable. I say if you can stomach eating your savings and going a year without a paycheck then do it.
