Personal Income
Income is the money a person receives; what matters is not only how much, but also where from and how stable it is.
Active income
Active income is pay for your labour and time: a salary, a fee, a side job. Stop working — the income stops.
Passive income
Passive income comes in without constant effort: interest on a deposit, rent, dividends. It needs starting capital or an asset built in advance.
Diversification
Several sources of income are safer than one: if one is lost, the others hold. So it is worth combining incomes.
