Passive Income, Minus the Hype
Straight answers on passive income ideas: how passive they really are, how much work they take, and what can go wrong.
Every passive income pitch sounds the same: set it up once, then relax. Passive AF takes those ideas apart and scores them on three things that actually matter: effort, risk, and how passive they really are.
How we judge an idea
Effort
Hours to build, hours to learn, hours to keep it alive. We count all three.
Risk
What you could lose in money, time and control if it goes wrong.
Passivity
What happens if you walk away for three months. Fade, flatline or collapse?
