Active income and passive income are two different types of income that can have a major impact on your financial well-being. Active income is income you generate through activities such as working, running a business, or providing services. Passive income is income generated by something that you own or have invested in such as savings accounts, real estate, stocks, or rights to something you have created.
This article will discuss the differences between active and passive income sources and how understanding them can help you make better financial decisions.
Active Income
Active income is a form of income that requires you to be actively involved in order to earn it. This means that you are actively using your time and energy to make money. Active income requires more effort and time to generate than passive income, but it can still be rewarding in the long run.

With careful planning and research, passive income can be used to supplement your active income and achieve financial freedom. Passive income can be used to help build wealth over time and can be a great way to supplement your retirement savings.
