Im a 17 year old in high school, I want to start making money passively. Right now i work at pizzeria making 12$ an hour. I dont have a ssn so stocks or any taxed income businesses cant be an option for me. : passive_income

Great points and i completely agree the advice in this thread is shockingly bad.

I would strongly discourage any day trading. It’s been shown over long periods of time, even the most sophisticated investors can’t achieve the same returns as general index funds. Passive income takes time and is expensive. You need a lot of capital to establish real passive income sources.

My honest advice is to get an education first and foremost. Try and get your SSN situation figured out and become a citizen. Finally, start a business. It’s the fastest way to wealth generation and then you can use that money, plus your education to make informed passive income investments.

This may not sound glamerous or quick, but it worked for me and will likely provide you with the highest chance of actually achieving real passive income.
