Life can go to shite at any moment, so sayeth the moaners on Facebook, between their vagueposts and humblebrags. But don’t worry, kids, your buddy Nic is safe cos I’ve diversified my income not once, twice, or thrice, but 10 times.

So, if something happens to my day job, like it’s stolen by Chatty the chatbot, I’ve got 10 other lucrative options to fall back on. And I’m kindly sharing them with you lot cos kindness, unlike poo, is best smeared around.

My personal finance strategy centres around chaos and vibes. It’s science-backed by zero market research and no vision boards. Unless you count a dream of a giant yacht as a vision.

And now, without further to-do, let me share 10 neato sources of income so passive they’re in a coma.
