Want Freedom & Online(Passive) Income But How?

Today I had an intense discussion with my boss about work and crypto. He believes crypto is a scam and that workwise, people have become lazy. They want freedom and be free to travel yet have a super high income. And he just does not believe that it can happen.

I disagree with him.
Completely.

First of all, crypto isn't a scam, even though he really likes telling me it is.

I know in the depths of my being that having a life in which you are free to go wherever you want to go and are not bound by the constraints of a 'normal' job and earn more than a decent living can really really happen.

I am not living that life at the moment but it is what I attain.

Freedom has been on my mind a lot the few days.

It's because the weather has finally turned for the better here in The Netherlands and it is a huge reminder that this is NOT the life that I want.

I want to be able to go to the beach whenever I want. I want to be able to go travel and not have to ask permission from someone else to go. I want to be able to work from my laptop so that I can choose when I want to work. I want a passive income so that I can take time off of work without it being a problem.

I want to be free.

And this is in no way going to happen with the current trajectory I am on.

So what to do?

Start a POD webshop? Work as a freelance writer,editor and translator?

I'm going to have to muse on all of this.

What do you do to create an online income for yourself? What is your passive income?

Hoping to be inspired by you,
