Look, even Wikipedia admits it!
Passive income is a type of unearned income that is acquired with little to no labor to earn or maintain.
“I work very hard as a landlord”
“I am a leech on society”
I’ve seen some landlord tiktok where one minute they go “I love my passive income, look how relaxing and luxurious my life is ”
It’s funny in general that whenever you say landlords are useless someone always says ”but they do X and Y, it’s not just collecting the money every month”, but every finance bro pro tips for life article always has ”Invest in property, it’s a good way to have passive income!” in it.
They hold both these contradictory ideas in their heads simultaneously without any kind of introspection or synthesis.
Landlord tiktok is only something I want to look at if I find myself not hating capitalism enough
It is truly one of the most infuriating and cursed things on the internet, and I’ve only seen it through youtube videos making fun of it
That’s like me and watching Ben Shabibo shit. His whiny voice and attempts at wit are infuriating. I can’t hate watch it even if it’s someone mocking him. It’s like he’s figured out how to use his own intellectually stifling brain prison as an offensive weapon.
Capitalists defending capitalism say it rewards hard work.
Capitalists giving financial advice say avoid labour, get passive income.
Their advice is always full of incongruous shit like that. “Capitalism rewards risk.”
Like bros you made medicine a for profit industry where the real money is in the insurance side of things. Where is the risk. One day people are going to decide not to get sick? Fuck off.
Without their Ayn Randian WILL and VISION insulin would be as cheap as orange juice
That’s a skill issue. My passive income is earned income that is acquired with little to no labor to earn or maintain because I take shits on company time, take long lunch breaks, and clock out from my phone when I get home
Hell yeah brother I read 5 novels on the clock this week, look at us passively incoming just like real capitalists
One time I had a position at my job for about a year that probably shouldn’t have existed and didn’t really require more than an hour or two of work a day.
I read all of Worm and Pact that year, which for reference is about the same as reading the whole ASOIAF series and then going half way through it again.
Good year.
Had a coworker complain he was “only” getting a 4% return on the condo he bought in another city that he pays someone else to manage for him. I just told him he deserved worse but didn’t elaborate, because I am a lib.
I wish all the passive income pricks a very sudden and kinetic outcome
