Story
If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Story
Imagine working eight hours daily, Monday to Friday, until you are at the age of 65. It does not sound very appealing, am I right? What about having not to have to work at all? Just try to imagine how it would feel to be able to wake up whenever you want and to do anything that you desire. Do not waste your time being a slave. Working constantly and barely having time to do anything else is not living. That is merely existing. Having multiple passive income streams is the number one key to wealth accumulation!
