Is Passive Income Really Possible for Us Regular Folks?

I've been diving into the world of passive income lately and I'm curious about everyone's experiences. Is it really something that can work for the average person, or is it more of a pipe dream? I see a lot of posts about people making money while they sleep, but I’m just wondering if it’s sustainable or if it requires a ton of initial work or investment.

I’ve tried a few things like investing in stocks and even some affiliate marketing, but I’m still figuring it out. What methods have worked for you? Any tips or insights on what’s realistic and what’s just hype? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
