There are many disadvantages of passive income. The first and foremost is a lack of effort. People who work in their jobs just to fund their passive income will find that they are not always working and, as a result, they fail to advance in their company. There is no guarantee that the passive income stream will be able or willing to support an individual's financial needs. In these cases, the individuals must take on additional employment opportunities in order for them to pay for expenses like food and rent.
In addition, passive income tends to benefit those who are in a position of power. In the United States, most individuals with a high net worth receive their income from their inheritance or previous business experience. They often have little need to work and can afford to depend on their passive income to provide them with a satisfactory living. Individuals without this kind of financial stability are not as well off and will struggle to make ends meet if they attempt to support themselves with passive incomes.
Taxes also pose a problem for passive income investors. It is essentially impossible for the individual income tax system of the United States to accommodate for individuals who receive all of their money through investments.
