#102$25/month from Patreon for a very niche open source game. Not exactly passive, except that I was doing it already anyway, might as well have a Patreon for it. ( https://spacenerdsinspace.com )

#103Followup question (if allowed). If your passive income involves software and you're also employed at a software company, how do you deal with the potential legal problems? Most contracts don't allow for commercial side projects and the company owns anything you create even outside of working hours. Do people just keep quiet and not tell their employer? How risky is it? I know some people who simply don't bother telli…
I never understood this. I have friends who were developers at a software company and afraid of doing anything after hours since they felt their company essentially owned them and anything they create, 24/7.

Im also investing in apartment complexes. Right now i have 4 passive investments. Since I’m only a passive LLC mem…
Silly question, but how will your product survive if Google decides to just implement that type of view on the calendar?

#107Earlier quoted context omitted.
And that rarely holds up in court, especially in California. Some common sense comes into play e.g. if you're building a direct competitor or using their IP, then of course that's going to be an issue.

#110I post photos to pixabay.com and get Paypal donations
