We have all fantasized in some form or another of some real-life equivalent of a "money tree" that produces cash for us like fruit. And while horticulturists and botanists are quite a few centuries away from engineering actual tree to do this, in the information age we can now duplicate its effects by generating passive income.
Passive vs. Active Income
Passive income behaves much like that mythical money tree we have all thought about. With little maintenance and supervision, passive income automatically generates revenue that trickles into our personal bank accounts to be used in ways to improve our lives. If taken and then reinvested long-term wealth is both possible and doable.On the flip side, active income is the end result of exchanging your work or time with an organization such as a company that employs you.
