How to generate passive income from investments?
Dividend stocks
You can make money by investing in some companies that give you a little piece of their earnings on a regular basis, like every three months. The best ones will give you more money over time. It's like getting a little present in the mail every so often!
Dividend index funds and ETFs
You can also put your money in a big pot of many different stocks and not have to choose just one company. These are called index funds or ETFs. They make it easy for you to have a mix of different stocks and make it a little safer for your money. You’ll need to open a brokerage account if you don’t already have one. Open Now
Bonds and bond index funds
Another way to make money is by lending it to companies or the government and they will pay you back with interest. These are called bonds. They are a little safer than stocks, but you won't make as much money. It's good to have a mix of bonds and stocks in your piggy bank.
High-yield savings accounts
You can also put your money in a special kind of piggy bank called a high-yield savings account. They will give you a little more interest than a regular piggy bank. It's good to have some money here just in case you need it.
Rental Properties
You can buy a house or apartment and rent it out to people. They will pay you every month and you can make some extra money. But you also have to take care of the house and pay some bills. You can start small by renting out a room in your house.
Private Equity
You can also give money to people you know who are starting a business. They will use your money to make their business better and you will get a piece of the profits. But remember, this is a big risk and you shouldn't invest more than you can afford to lose.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs)
If you want to make money from real estate without having to buy a house and take care of it, you can invest in something called REITs. They are like a big pot of different real estate properties and they give you some of their earnings. It's a little complicated, so make sure to ask for help.
