Ranking Passive Income Sources: S-Tier vs F-Tier

Описание: Most advice on the internet treats every "passive income" idea like it's the same. They tell you dropshipping is just as passive as dividend stocks. That is a lie. 🛑 In this video, we are fixing the definitions. We rank every major income stream-from Real Estate and YouTube to Crypto and ETFs—on a ruthless Tier List.

We judge them on two specific axes: how hard they are to start (Barrier to Entry) and whether they actually pay you while you sleep or just while you stress (The Coma Test). 😴 We break down why "easy" side hustles often become low-paying jobs and reveal the specific "S-Tier" assets that truly build wealth without the daily grind. 📈

You will learn the specific order of operations to escape the rat race: use active income to fund boring, stable assets. Let's clear out the garbage so you can focus on the gold. 💰
