While I agree that info products and affiliate marketing are not the passive cash cows that a lot of people are being tricked into believing they are, those are not the only forms of passive income.

It's like the author is completely unaware that there are other things to do with your non-work time than partying on a beach. I find my most fulfilling moments when setting and accomplishing goals in activities that give no other reward than the meaning and gravity I have given it.
