What was your first "cash flow positive asset?"

[Fox]

I thought it would be cool to have a thread about the first steps people took to start getting their money working for them...

- Did you buy a rental property?
- Was it a small franchise or self managed business?
- Was it stocks?

Even if it was only cash flowing $10 or $100 a month I would love to see what people started with when it came to hands-off cash flow. Sometimes it can seem intimidating for people to know where to start but I am sure there are many great examples on here of people making a few dollars work for them in a smart way.

(Also please link to any individual threads you might have on the same topic)

Thanks!
