In most cases I agree with you, but what about a musician who makes passive income off of people streaming their music, or people who buy my fonts?
Not passive income, they did the work of creating the music or the font
Doesent all passive income require some upfront work outside of investing?
If you inherit/"born rich" I don't think so...
