I am 63 years old and have been in the insurance and annuity business for 30 years. I am self employed. I want to semi retire and make about $12,000 in new commissions. I have about $36,000 in renewal commissions. Can I draw my social security without being penalized?

I agree with everything Meg has stated in the original post. Passive Income is more important than most people think. Thanks!

My definition on passive income is something that I can do or spend a few time on it each week and bring massive of income for me. So blogging or running an online business are some kind of passive income source for me. Maybe I spend 1-2 hours per day and make $10K from it. For me I’m not really active in it so it is passive income for me.

Passive income is what we strive for. And the earlier you start the better you will be later. Although, blogging and the web aren’t exactly passive because of the upkeep, if you start building now, you can grow sites that will require less effort as time goes on. And as long as you have internet access you could spend a few early morning hours while on vacation, updating them.

Also, it was pointed out that if you build enough of them or enough revenue you can pass the day-to-day management on to someone else.

There are other vehicles as well, but each must be researched carefully.

[...] “Passive Income is the Key to Freedom–and Retirement” – Meg over at All Financial Matters wrote this great article about a topic that gets a big of a bad rap. A lot of hucksters user the term “passive income” to try to sell you on their zero-down real estate program or other investment scheme, but the reality is the only way to retire is to have passive income coming your way.
