Making money while you sleep. Doesn’t that have a beautiful ring to it? I mean, who wouldn’t want to be making some extra money while playing with the kids or while watching a game?

The only problem is that most passive income ideas that you’ll come across are not really passive at all. Since you’re already busy with your everyday life, you won’t want to pick up a 2nd job that you don’t have time for.

Most passive income ideas require you to put in a LOT of work. And doesn’t that kind of wipe out the “passive” in passive income?

The truth is, to generate passive income, you need to invest in an asset that produces passive income for you. Unless you’re making money the old-fashioned way (i.e. inheriting it), or you are willing to put in some effort.

This next post was written by my friend Nathan, who blogs over at Millionaire Dojo. It’s all about how teenagers can start making money, even at 15 years old! I definitely remember those years, from when my sons were teens. They always had important places to go, and fun things to do with their friends. And most of those things required money.

And guess who had to provide that money? Yep, the good ‘ole bank of Mom & Dad. But maybe if we’d had online resources like this one, they would’ve had better options for funding their own excursions.
