On: Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2016?

[danesparza]

I think you'll find that the poor generally don't save money -- they spend it, but I digress.

Also: Why isn't interest income considered passive income to you? "The fundamentals" are there for a reason, after all.

[anigbrowl → danesparza]

Poor people don;'t have enough money to save, by definition.

[BirdieNZ → anigbrowl]

I don't think this is always accurate; a lot of poor people are poor through spending habits and poor financial management, not through lack of income.
