Valid advice by the members but I've been contacted by a Nigerian prince who promised to transfer $50 million to my account anytime now.  I'll be on easy street soon.  And it only cost me a $199 gift card ????

Thanks for the gift card

Buying a fair bit of Bitcoin 10 years ago as been a rocky but worthwhile passive income. 

So will the next 10 years although few understand this unfortunately. 

But this was a gamble at the time, so in fairness, hardly planning.  Please it has worked out for you - this is somewhat different to owning a property (not exactly passive income), but there will always be somethings there bringing in an income.

I've gone for the property back home option.  I dabbled with shares, but unless you are an active and skilled (or very lucky) trader - which is not 'passive' income anyway, you'd need huge investments to generate a decent living income.

Understand your comment but sitting and drawing down some gains when needed regardless of the price is what I call passive I will say this (My opinion) If Bitcoin is 20k now how will 100k feel in 2 years. Yes there are naysayers but the large adoption of the years including mastercard, visa to name a few means its here to stay and remember as little as $5 can get you into the tech.I have far bigger headaches with the properties and tenants I acquired than Bitcoin. Anyhow good luck and for what  it's worth give it 12 months and let the property market crash then look to purchase it will be a bloodbath soon enough with interest rates up and property prices down. (negative equity will bite hard) 

 

We are only seeing the tip of the iceburge at present. 

 

Cheers.

I was able to move here at a relativley young age (43) just by having rental income from property I owned in London. It also gives me just enough to do without being bored, but not the hassles of a fulltime job.. Plus you have the added bnus of capital growth. However, a word of warning, We've had the benefits of very low interest rates since 2009, but I think those good times are rapidly coming to an end

The uk government are busy working on a different ways to destroy that income
