I get this question every now and then. I don't want to sugarcoat it but unfortunately for the majority of us, for me as well ,active income will be the main source of funding for the investment portfolio. I didn't grow my portfolio by being a hotshot day trader. I traded my time/tears/perspiration for my monthly income and ploughed most of it into investment to have a considerable amount of passive income over time.
There's no 2 ways about it unless you have a huge inheritance waiting or strike lottery along the way. The road to FIRE will not be easy but know that time is on your side especially if you just started working.
Stay focused and consistent, grab as much active income as you can!...
