9 Unique Types of Passive Income

Many people dream about living off passive income.

The concept of working hard and creating a perpetual stream of income is appealing.

Alternatively, you can be lucky and receive a large inheritance or win big at a casino.

These income sources are different from receiving a regular salary in a 9-to-5 job.

Unearned income is income from sources, not from employment or a job.
