    I agree with what you are discussing in the video. I also find most online discussed passive income ideas are actually not that "passive". For myself, I do rental apartments, invest in big bank stocks, index funds, CDs and money market funds. Rental properties are more like a "side hustle" rather than passive incomes because there is always something coming up to deal with unless you pay a property manager to handle them. CDs and money market funds have low return rates and could hardly beat inflations while big bank stocks and index funds generate real passive incomes in my humble opinion.

    @roknovak4155 Год назад +2

    Big thing to consider in investments that give you regular passive income are also taxes! Taxes on dividends in EU countries range from 5% in Bulgaria and Greece, 7% in Slovakia, and 10% in Romania (which might actually be the best on balance, considering other taxes), to well past 25% in some countries (including Austria with 27,5%, I believe!). Unless one is lucky enough to live in say Liechtenstein (where both dividends and capital gains are untaxed), the already lofty plans all these passive income videos make are even further out of reach than a first critical examination suggests.
    Perhaps instead of the how I made x in passive income craze, a "how I optimized my taxes" is called for. Less sexy, lol. But a lot more real!

    Great video, I agree with almost all what you said especially about other content creators. Don't you think that saving into stocks is not fully passive as well. One could argue that if you make 2k and save 500 a month, you can probably find a job that requires less time and make 1.5k a month. So you trade time to make more money and invest the same way as someone being paid 1.5k and having a side hustle generating 500 a month. ITs not exactly the same but I do not think it is discussed enough.

    Finally some one on youtube that is not over optimistic about passive income. All the youtubers make passive income so easy when in reality you need to put alot of effort into that, so yes becomes a second job. No thank you. Unless you got some money then yes you can make passive income, investing in stock dividends. With no money, it´s impossible to have passive income.

  • @SL-4178

    There's indeed some sort of passive income hype, still going strong nearly 1 year after this video. At least another option here: rotating (sub)portfolio of individual stocks, e.g. BDCs, REITs, CEFs etc, but it requires some active management and it's certainly not everybody's cup of tea. I believe passive income is insignificant below the 100K allocation threshold, just pennies in exchange of lost opportunities .

    Great video and very honest! I am also on this road of FIRE and hope to be financially independent in 9 years :D. I have one comment regarding your suggestion Fidelity Global Quality Income UCITS ETF.. I think at least from my part a better option is Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF Distributing it has a 3,385 m fund size and a TER of 0.29 vs 0.4 and 387m(Fidelity). I think it is important also the etf size when taking into consideration a etf in Europe as for the liquidity if you want to sell it faster for example. Best regards from Romania!

  • @firemike7
    @firemike7 Год назад +2

    Great video, thanks Angelo! I think the main misunderstanding is the word "passive" which implies doing nothing. However, other people like those RUclipsrs, view "passive" as a separation of time/effort and income. As in: you can put a lot of effort and time into creating a digital product but when it's done you can sell it online, even when you're sleeping. So that is the passive element, even though it does require a lot of work 😃. Investing in dividend stocks and ETFs is more passive of course (although you need capital for it, which also requires work). The word passive can be interpreted in different ways, and usually it requires some type of effort/time ranging on a scale from little to a lot. Unfortunately many people like to think that they can make an income without doing anything at all, but that is just a dream and if that were possible everyone would be doing it 😅.

    Let's not forget that in order to pick up one of those "passive" income streams in the form of a side hustle, affiliate marketing, RUclips'ing, etc, one has first become a specialist in chosen field before he can even start. So first you have to decide that you want to be an expert in it and then commit to it. And only then you can start learning and educating yourself, followed by long hours of hard unpaid work. As a blogger/affiliate marketer I can say it's far from passive income.

      I would agree P2P is not necessary, even though I'm happy with my investments in it. It does require quite some time commitment to understand the asset and platforms in the beginning. The performance is very good (~9%), but it is also not truly passive, as you need to inform yourself and adjust your investments from time to time.
      So yeah, in other words, keep it up! ;)
      I wouldn't invest in dividend ETFs instead of broad market indexes like the FTSE All World or MSCI World as they have a lower total return, and physical properties are too much effort and cluster risk for me (and a bubble), but that's a different discussion. You're definitely doing a lot right!

    I have similar opinion, if you manage to create some income for you by spending weeks/months of building this money flow and then you spend more energy later to maintain it - it's not "passive", it's just a work. Maybe not a traditional one, but still a work.

    Hi Angelo. Greetings from Poland. To buy stocks you need money, to have money you either have to work for it (one way or another) or inherit it. In my opinion putting money to work gained by inheritance is somewhat passive. If you are investing your hard earned money then it is not passive. Work is required but it’s already done in the past.

      Hi Pawel! Well yes, as I mentioned the only real "passive income" options all require capital beforehand (whichever way that is earned), which once invested can then generate recurring income.

    Thanks for your analysis. At the end of the day, I wonder if passive income and early retirement/ financial freedom have similar purpose - people to ‘consume’ that idea in all ways possible whereby creators earn a bit on that common dream. Pretty much like lottery. Nothing against your life strategy and fingers crossed for your family to achieve it. But I am just worried that if too manny young people start getting financial freedom this way, this ‘spring’ will quickly dry out because top 1-2% wealthy people will start to suffer and situation would have to be corrected.

    You need money to make money passively, I used to follow Mark and listened to his advice and it was good generally but lately a bit click baity, He got lucky in truth but he did put in the work and take the risks in order to be in a position to get lucky.
    Personally I made my money by working hard on my own business after starting work and seeing 50 to 60 year old men still pretty broke financially and physically after working for other people all their lives, I was prepared to work hard and I did but only for 6 years so that I could properly learn the trade before I set up on my own but again I guess I got lucky in that I was at a job where I could work for myself.
    However I never trusted investing and pensions so neglected that and bought a second house to rent out, did that for 10 years and realised it was actually really risky and not passive at all so sold up and now investing 50 50 stocks and short term bonds that are paying 5 to 6%, if rates come down I'll put more in stocks, if market crashes big I'll put most of it in stocks, if nothing much happens I'll leave it as is and take the income.
    Main thing to take away is that there is no easy passive income unless you have already made your money, investing a bit as you earn is the best bet.

    I don’t see the point in keeping cash at 2%instead of investing in an ETF that has 1.9 % dividend yield plus an upside potential.
    Keep cash only for your emergency fund and if you are saving up to buy something.
    And even then, a margin loan from IrKB will likely be the cheapest option anyway.

    • @AngeloColomboFi

    I think that an important factor in suggesting of creating a RUclips channel is the survival bias.
    The fact that they become successful just means they did, most of the people who tried failed.

    • @AngeloColomboFi

      Yes, sadly survival bias is a major factor in many of the "passive income ideas" (dropshipping, creating an app, blog, podcast, etc.). You don't hear from all the people that invested a lot of time (and often money) and failed.

    iShares Developed Markets Property Yield is an absolute trash advice, within the past 5 years the stock price increased by 0.69% (total 5 years) and dividend yield or amount doesn't make any huge increasement in the past 10 years - it ranges between 0,10-0,19 EUR all the time within past 10 years, there is no increasement tendency there - absolutely!... Rental prices within the past 10 years increased 100-300% globally so why to invest in such a thing which share price doesn't increase at all and divends are the same stuck past 10 years?

      @AngeloColomboFi  Год назад

      Thank you! Yes, I haven't been using Degiro for a while any more - ever since Interactive Brokers removed inactivity fees back in 2021 and became the much better option. Yes, I finally decided to transfer my ETF shares (only had 1 position) from Degiro to IBKR last month. It took a few weeks and Degiro charged me 28€ for the transfer (IB, Trade Republic and Scalable charge zero in comparison), but they're now on Interactive Brokers as well :)

    Great content as always Angelo!
    One topic people might find interesting though is how ETF expected performance compared to inflation. For example you mentioned you expect VWCE to give a avg return of 7%/y. How is this possible when the inflation rate is about 7/8%?
    Does it mean a 7% return is totally jeopardized by the inflation? What are the effects long term?

    • @AngeloColomboFi
      @AngeloColomboFi  Год назад +1

      Thank you Nicola! We're obviously still expecting positive returns after inflation. The 7% p.a. expectation is based on an environment with normal rates of inflation (eg 2% p.a.) as we've had before. I talked about why the stock market is a good protection from inflation (and some examples) here: ruclips.net/video/PXzvP1lt32s/видео.html

      Yes! You can even compare nominal returns & real returns (after inflation) on Curvo. Here's the MSCI World for example from 1979-2023:

    Can you plz make a vid on how to get started investing?
    - Depositing in euro I can't buy dollar stocks (don't see how to do that)
    - When I try to buy a stock, it's refused. What settings do I need to set before I can buy stocks (EU and US)?
    - Is it possible to spot-trade with SL and TP's?

      - you can either exchange EUR to USD on IBKR directly or wire USD to IBKR from Revolut/Wise if you prefer. Sadly I have no experience buying stocks/ETFs in currencies other than EUR myself.
      - you need to check your trading permissions, you probably didn't set the right ones
      - IBKR has a ton of features, so my guess is yes, but honestly I've never looked for those functions

(money guaranteed), for 6 months, then take this money and invest in those ETFs on the dip?

      Nobody knows what will happen in the short-run in the markets, so that's for you to decide. Statistically you're better off just investing right away and staying invested long-term than wasting time constantly wondering about when the next correction is going to occur.

      Past performance is no guarantee of future results. P2P lending remains risky and there’s still a risk you may lose your investment in the future. Also, both platforms currently have more demand than supply resulting in severe cash drag for me, which is the main reason I am currently not investing more on these platforms.

    • @AngeloColomboFi
      @AngeloColomboFi  Год назад +1

      As @Teccae mentioned, while I hope it stays that way, that's still not a guarantee that there can't be issues in the future if things change in some of their key markets. Just like with stocks (in my case ETFs), I prefer diversifying over focusing too much on a single platform or group of lending companies.

I do not want to time the market but buying in even at a 10% lower price is huge. What possibilities would you give for plunges within a 1-year term? My plan is to buy the average of the trough. What do you guys think?

    • @AngeloColomboFi
      @AngeloColomboFi  Год назад

      We just had a 5,5% drop in August, and 5-10% drops are quite frequent throughout a year. The question is if it drops from a higher price then you're still worse off waiting. Why would buying 10% lower be huge for you? Are you investing a very large sum? My latest video might help: ruclips.net/video/yOWAhL6MFF8/видео.html

      Thank you! It's being traded directly in EUR on XETRA (and other large European exchanges), so there is no conversion taking place. There should be basically no difference in price to the variant traded in USD (if you were to exchange USD-EUR at the market rate at the time).
