IMO best way for a steady income is start a business. 1.) it has upside and 2.) if you get sick of injured you can often still run it. So its best to pick a business you can run under most circumstances. Even better is to have a flexible business where you can live anywhere.
Anyway that is the idea scenario.
What can of business are going to build ? because for me the way for steady your income is finding a job and love it with all your heart so that you can never be fired and you will be regular in you work, and if can make salary of 600$ a week then thats awesome job.
Business will not give you steady income at least in the beginning and you may go through loss in it at initial stage but if you keep on improving and keep on working on it then results would be different in future.
Yes, business is not always good for everyone one. And it's also not riskfree. So, all you need proper knowledge, skill and bit of luck to become succeed on it.
Yeah knowledge and skills are need to manage it.. Also experience can be help so its normal to lose in the first but you should learn in next time..
I've as worked as a cleaner, in warehouses, as a window maker, welder, various other factory type work. All these jobs sucked because they are soul destroying. They paid a wage though so were "secure".
I've also made a living from gambling at one point and some trading. These were not "secure" but had more freedom.
From my experience the best thing i have found is running a good solid business - nothing fancy like creating bitcoin revolutionary app or something. Just a easy simple business. You get security + freedom. I would argue its more secure vs almost any other form of income - it depends on circumstance though i guess.
On the one hand it can feel very liberating to own a business, but if you really want to succeed, then you still have to put a lot of time in it.
Even more so than when you work a steady job, I would say.
But if you enjoy what you're doing and the fact that you're not stuck at a crappy workplace, working under a boss, makes it all worth it while though.
