I’ve been exploring different paths to financial independence, and one question keeps coming up: how much should I focus on passive income versus active trading? On one hand, passive income streams like dividends, rental properties, or index funds offer stability and less hands-on effort. On the other, active trading can potentially accelerate growth if done well.
For those who’ve reached or are close to financial independence, what’s been your experience? Do you lean more heavily on one approach, or have you found a sweet spot where both complement each other? Curious to hear what’s worked or hasn’t for others on this journey.
