    There is nothing wrong with this but you must immediately understand that living on an income thanks to passive income, being free financially, means only that you can afford not to be always productive and no longer have to depend on a professional income.  
It therefore means having total control over your finances and your time.  
It means doing what you want often when you want, it means having a lot of free time… but it doesn't mean not doing anything anymore.  
Personally, it is for these latter reasons that I began to explore the economic and financial world many years ago when I learned that the key to living on an income lay in the concept of passive income.  
Then it took me 7 years of great commitment and many attempts to learn how the "system" worked, and then to acquire mastery of it, up to having full control.  
It may not be a definitive status because some opportunities capable of generating passive income may be limited in time and therefore it is necessary to be aware that it may be necessary to update one's sources of passive income even when certain results have been achieved.  
Therefore, those who think they can constantly stay sitting in the sun from morning to evening just because they have understood how to generate passive income, can safely stop reading ... because they are deluded or because someone has told them that this is so!  
So, let's start talking about how to make more money by not working, than how much you can make by working.

    Big Boy Rules - America's...

    A parallel army lives on the margins of the Iraq war—nearly 100,000 armed men, invisible yet in plain sight, doing jobs the overstretched and understaffed military can't or won't do. The U.S. media call them "security contractors." They call themselves "mercs," and they operate under their own rules.Washington Post reporter Steve Fainaru traveled with several groups of security contractors to find out what motivates them to put their lives in danger every day. What emerges is a searing, revealing, and sometimes darkly funny look at the men who live and work in the battlefields of Iraq: some are desperate, some are confused, and some are just out for a lark. Some disappear into the void that is Iraq and are never seen again. It's not a pretty picture that Fainaru reveals, but it is brutally real and shockingly honest. Big Boy Rules is an unforgettable leap into the mayhem of Iraq and into the dark recesses of the minds of American policymakers and the warriors they hire.

    No fighter pilot ever flies a mission solo, and neither should you.  To reach your highest potential in business and life, you can’t do it alone. Regardless if you are in the cockpit of an F-16 or at the office, the need for courage, commitment, and mutual support is more critical than ever.  In NEVER FLY SOLO (McGraw-Hill), former combat decorated fighter pilot and Hall of Fame speaker Lt. Col. Rob “Waldo” Waldman shares business critical concepts for success and delivers a very human message:  We all have “missiles in life” to overcome and we can’t do it alone.  Whether you’re an entrepreneur, seasoned executive or simply looking to enhance your leadership skills and relationships, you’ll learn to:  • 	Recommit to the core business values of integrity, accountability, and service before self.•	Communicate effectively under high stress conditions at work.  •	Build and leverage mission critical wingman relationships with key supervisors, co?workers, family members and friends • 	Identify courage building techniques to take action when the missiles of adversity are launched.  Waldo’s stories are inspiring, humorous and told with a surprising candor that bucks the typical Hollywood fighter pilot image.  Never Fly Solo delivers a positive, heart?felt message that draws a perfect parallel between military experience and building meaningful business relationships.
