Earning income passively can make you lazy
It’s hard to make a living when you work hard, work all the time, and get paid nothing. Somebody who is unlucky enough to be in this situation might start looking for alternative ways of generating income, such as trading stocks or doing odd jobs on the side. We’ll call this person Person A.
However, there’s another type of person who falls into a different class: Person B. This person has a job that pays pretty well but is also very low-stress because they do it passively – maybe they do creative work while at home or they invest and make their living that way. This lifestyle is pretty sweet, but it’s not without its problems.
For instance, when you’re a passive earner and you’re sitting in your house all day doing nothing, there’s really no reason for you to get out of bed in the morning. Person B might begin to feel guilty about how unproductive they are and take it as a personal failing that they don’t have the drive to go out and do anything productive during their waking hours. In many ways this is a perfect example of how laziness can eat away at our souls.
