Passive income is a parasitic idea. 

I don't have to do anything and I get paid? Great! That's my dream!

passive income is just the byproduct of sweat equity put into other endeavors

if someone is good at the game of money, they understand the benefit and leverage potential of passive income, while simultaneously having all their basic needs met multiple times over, 

this then allows freedom of time for other endeavors
