On: Ask HN: What is your best passive income 2019?

[exolymph]

Legitimately passive income is not a thing.

[tonyedgecombe → exolymph]

It's not a good term for what people are describing here. Most will have been quite active in generating their income.

[RobLach → exolymph]

Dividends?

[kranner → exolymph]

Income from interest is as passive as it gets.

[quickthrower2 → kranner]

But the catch is devaluation of the principal.

[charlesdm → quickthrower2]

Not if you account for inflation in your calculations..

[tluyben2 → charlesdm]

Which you should...

[quickthrower2 → tluyben2]

Then you end up with very little (if any) income :-)

[marketgod → quickthrower2]

Not really. Look up lazy portfolios by Bogleheads. If you continue to invest it can grow for you. I mean not at insane levels but definitely a decent return for many.

It can be for a division of time.
