Passive income is a topic that's very interesting for so many people. So what is passive income really is?

Passive income is a type of income where you can earn money without you are actively involved, wherever you are in the world and regardless of whether you're actually physically working or not. That is what passive income definition.

These days, many assume that people who can successfully made passive income and earn millions of dollars by doing nothing think that they are a few lucky people, because they don't have to do anything, therefore they can live free and do whatever they want.

But the truth behind all the success for those who already enjoyed passive income is that this kind of income or easy money is not something that can be easily achieved, in the process of those who made passive income, they have been through a very rough journey.

Passive income is not easy generate, passive income or financial freedom really is a dream for so many people but only few of them who can make it. Most people will only have active income, mainly from their day job as an employee.

So active income is pretty straightforward, it is what most of us know the model of income where you go somewhere and you trade your hours for a certain amount of money, you work for a certain amount of time and your employer will pay you per hour for the amount of time that you worked.

Active income because you should participate in the process of earning it, make it not scalable, your number of hours in a day will be spent to generate the money, The money you made equals the time you spent.

The amount of money you can earn in a day with an active income is limited, whereas a passive income we can do other activities and you still make money, you have free time and free money.

Active income is where you just trade your hours for money, it's actually where you put in a lot of hard work and a lot of hours upfront. So when you are not doing the work, you won't get paid, but then once you've finished the work then it starts to generate you money.

There are different ways of generating passive income, and the longevity of that passive income is different depending on what you've done. For some forms of passive income when you finish work on it, then it can literally keep making you money for the rest of your life literally without you doing anything, just maintains your works to keep alive and people still can access it.

An example of passive income is let's say writing a book, you don't get paid for writing the book, it can take you a very long time to write it, but once it's done, then it's succeed, The book will just keeps selling from that point on, you will get passive income from the royalty of that book, after that you can keep busy with other activities, maybe write another book, so you can have multiple passive income.

Think for example like the Harry Potter book franchise. How much do you think JK Rowling, the writer of the book, still gets from that franchise she created at awhile ago?

How much JK Rowling gets passive income from just the first book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Just by the first book from 1997 until now, how much do you think JK Rowling made from that point to 2020?

Now, she doesn't need to do anything since then, the income is just keep flowing to JK Rowling's wallet, and she can do whatever she wants, she put a lot of hard work the first time making the Harry Potter books and now she can reap what she deserves for infinite amount of time probably.

But not just become a successful writer you can earned a passive income, fortunately this internet ages give us lots of potentials to generate an income from the internet, and hopefully it will be a passive one.

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl
