Each of us dreams of financial independence. However, for the most part, we are forced to work actively from paycheck to paycheck, feeling the eternal fear of job loss as the main source of income.
Meanwhile, there are options for the so-called passive income, for example PAMM-accounts that we have described in detail. Such earnings do not depend on current activities, funds are credited to the account thanks to well-considered investments made earlier. You can lie on the beach and receive passive income as the only source of funds, and you can work peacefully in the office, simultaneously receiving a pleasant increase in income and not worrying about a possible loss of work.
Today's selection presents the best sources of passive income. Of course, most of the ideas from the top 10 require a certain starting capital, but there are also ways that allow you to lay the foundation for future income without investment.
10. Credit unions and trust funds
Unlike bank deposits, such investments bring higher returns. However, the risks here will be much higher. Credit unions and trust funds really redistribute capital, so that money will work and generate income, but only if the fund management invests it wisely.
9. Securities
Investments in securities can bring a steady income if the investment is made by a specialist. Therefore, such investments require at least minimal knowledge and the condition, trends and laws of the securities market. Otherwise, it is better to entrust the funds to professionals, paying attention to mutual funds, which will be discussed below.
8. Passive earnings on the Internet
