Quotes to ponder:

"Passive and active income strategies are mutually supportive. They are not opposites."

"Even if a lot more people started earning passive income and fewer people were willing to earn money as active income, I believe the market would adapt without skipping a beat."

"The truth is that both strategies seek to contribute, just in different ways."
