Riding a nice bike is an exercise in something that costs $20-$40 always needing fixing every so often. So I do Uber Eats when I ride every so often to offset that. Almost time for new rims though. It's not passive exactly, but it's getting paid to do something that's 80% the same as what I was going to do anyways.

My onlyfans makes way less so far, but hope springs eternal.

I am a serious practitioner of the FIRE (Financially Independent, Retire Early) philosophy. Over the years, I have accumulated assets in a very conservative portfolio. This portfolio has reached a point where it has consistently generated over 150% of my base salary for more than 5 years.

Sounds like you are already FI. Have you RE yet? Do you intend to?

Just my modest investment portfolio, and credit card rewards (not technically income, per se, but it's money the card companies give me just for being cool and using their cards, so I'm counting it).

I'm looking around for some slightly less passive ways of making a modest income that don't turn the slider all the way to "start and run a business."

That sounds like really great returns. Where did you start?
