Passive Income -- Share your success/failure story

This really applies to all forums on WSO, and I know some members have really solid input to offer. How many of you have a source of passive income?

How did you create it while working a demanding job (and potentially studying for CFA/CAIA/CPA/insert charter here)?

Dividend stocks? Real estate investments? Side hustle?

Do you save it, invest, or spend (supplemental spending/help someone/coke/women/etc.)?

All thoughts and stories welcome. I think there are a lot more monkies who want to know than who actually ask.
