-->The End Game of Passive Income

I notice that is going on with one user who was bored of his life, and needed ideas on "what to do".

I think the title is misleading, since the writer is just talking about how passive income can lead to depression. Passive income isn't bad, and it doesn't mean everyone goes into depression because they have no purpose on what to do.

I for one, won't ever get bored with life, since life is like a sandpit with many things to do. I may hate it at times, but that's because I have "psychological uniqueness" lol... it's not because life is so hard.

If a day job gives you purpose, why quit it? Just keep doing it even if you are a multi millionaire.

Who ever says that passive income isn't for everybody doesn't have it and/or doesn't really get it.

If your one of those people who needs to work to keep from getting bores, then collect your passive income and still work a job, problem solved!

I can agree with Steve in a way. I don't want passive income so that I can sit around and waste my life away. I want passive income so that I can do the things that I want to do without having to worry about paying the bills. I want to be able to work with refugees whenever I want. However, I don't want to be a burden on a refugee center and I don't want to HAVE to work with refugees to survive. Also, working with refugees, surprisingly, pays very little. Bettering the lives of others is what brings me happiness in life, so I want to be able to do that without worrying too much about my own life or my own financial issues.

I prefer passive income to active income. I don't have a problem not working. I've never been accused of being the human equivalent of a hamster on a wheel.

I like the ability of passive income to give one the opportunity to engage in introspection. Most avoid it because they don't like thinking of such things - so they keep on doing something, anything.

Passive income will help me build more passive income and buy expirences that will be exiting and fulfilling.

WTF is this? Just because you have passive income doesn't mean you have to stop doing what you enjoy. As a matter of fact, passive income allows to do what you want without worries. With passive income, you can be the be outspoken and innovative at your profession without worries of getting fired or losing customers

The only "Job" I ever want, is counting my own money. And I want that to be full time.

I actually hate that part of my job.

Did you actually read the article? Steve is advocating passive income, but saying if you don't have a higher purpose, the "high life" in and of itself gets old pretty fast. Steve is huge on personal development and saying that you need to have the end game in mind if you are trying to support yourself on passive income alone. This is not "get rich quick" without doing the difficult work up front. You need to have the proper mindset when it comes to money, whether passive or not. He encourages you to find your purpose in life, and is saying you should pursue it some manner even if you are still working a day job.
