\"They don't want passive income. They want relief.\"
\"Passive income\" is the most Googled financial fantasy going. But nobody's actually chasing the money. They're chasing relief.
Becky and Ruth pull this one apart after 14 years of actually living inside a property portfolio — what \"passive\" really means once the marketing stops, why residual income isn't the same as truly passive income, and why the whole online hustle thing is quietly burning everyone out.
Freelancing with no safety net. The side hustle boom. Why short-form content is selling \"easy money\" that doesn't exist. And why they ditched posting 3 times a day on Instagram to do this instead.
Turns out the flex was never the passive income stream. It's not needing one that badly.
