The first few years of adulthood are exciting. You start working, earning! Financial independence and financial stability become the goals to achieve.

Pay bills, save for the future, incur emergency expenditures and even treat yourself… all of it from a single source. Though your income keeps rising timely, it is unfair to impose all your goals on a singular source of income.

You need additional sources of income. This doesn’t mean you always have to WORK and put in the time every day for it.

How does the sound of ‘making money while asleep’ sound to you? Fascinating, right? THE dream life… taking an off when you want to, working from wherever you want to, not worrying about the money being credited to your account. An income you don’t have to toil for!

It is possible, yes. One should always have more than one source of income not only for some extra income but also to ensure you don’t have all eggs in one basket.

Passive income works wonders. It may take a while to get regular at it since it is advisable to read up, research in-depth and take informed calls.

This brings me to the question:

Why do you need passive income?

It is always good to have some extra income, right? But more than that, it works as a solid way to strengthen your finances. You don’t have to impose all the burden on your job. Here are a few ways passive income helps you.

1.   Better financial stability.

One of the primary goals as soon as you start earning is to be stable financially. What is stability here? It is not having to worry about where the money will come from if you don’t happen to work for a few days or months.

Passive income looks at creating wealth, not just another income generation. It helps you step beyond the risky line of a paycheck-to-paycheck life.

An additional income source helps you achieve financial stability and independence early on in life. The best part is that it is not limited to the time and effort you put in. It keeps working on its own.

It is a brilliant way to improve your finances without putting yourself through the stress of meeting work deadlines.

2.   Dependence on one source

Keeping all eggs in one basket is always dangerous. The pandemic has taught many to not rely on a single source of income. It not only saves you from drowning in the workload but also gives you space to make some decisions and take a fair leap of faith.

3.   Helps achieve goals

With passive income, you can distribute the weight of achievements over multiple channels rather than a single source. You make an informed choice and wait and watch! It is best for the long term since passive income usually takes a while to start fetching you a decent amount of money.

4.   More time and flexibility

When you don’t have to work constantly and are free to work from wherever, you have ample chances to pick a time and place for yourself and work, leaving you with time to spare to pursue a hidden passion or a side hustle without a pinch of fear.
