It's effectively the same.
- sethd 5y agoIt's only income if you sell, at which point it's no longer passive, right? Otherwise it's unrealized gains and not income.
- Retric 5y agoSetting up a passive income by regularly selling stocks clearly qualifies. Unrealized gains are more questionable, but you don’t have to realize gains from other forms of passive income like rental income either.
- nly 5y agoIt's really not. Let's say, thanks to your passive investment growth, you can spend 3% of your capital every year and never run out This means $100/mo of recurring, passive income would take $40K in the bank to replace. Even a small passive income is worth huge amounts.
