Income
Income is where wealth-building begins
If you want to build wealth, income is the starting point.
At CheatCode Wealth™, income is not just about earning more. It is about building a smarter system: strengthening active income, creating passive income, and using today’s paycheck to build future flexibility.
This page is the hub for CheatCode Wealth content on income: how to earn it, grow it, convert it, and use it in a way that supports your life instead of taking it over.
Build your wealth. Keep your life.
What You’ll Find in This Income Hub
Most income advice pushes one extreme or the other. Either it tells you to stay stuck in your job forever, or it tells you to quit everything and chase freedom overnight.
CheatCode Wealth takes a different approach. This section of the site is built for employees and busy people who want to use income strategically: improve what they earn now, build assets that can pay them later, and create more options over time.
Active Income
Active income is the income you earn from working. At CheatCode Wealth, this is not something to be ashamed of. Your job can be one of your strongest wealth-building tools when you use it intentionally. Explore ideas for embracing employment, strengthening earnings, and treating your paycheck like fuel for future freedom.
Passive Income
Passive income is income that comes from an income-producing asset after the upfront work, capital, or system has been put in place. This section introduces Garrett's original 3-part definition of passive income and helps readers think more clearly about what passive income is, what it is not, and how it fits into a realistic wealth-building life.
Paycheck-to-Passive™
Paycheck-to-Passive™ is the CheatCode Wealth system for helping employees turn earned income into income-producing assets over time. It is built for people who want a practical bridge between stability now and flexibility later, without needing to quit their job or burn out in the process.
Money Cheat Codes
Money Cheat Codes brings together smarter ways to think about earning, saving, spending, and allocating money so that each dollar does more work for your future. These ideas are designed to save time, reduce friction, and help busy people move faster toward financial stability and flexibility.
The CheatCode Wealth View of Income
CheatCode Wealth teaches income as a progression, not a single category.
First, you strengthen active income. Then, you direct part of that income into assets, systems, and decisions that can create passive income later. Over time, that shift can move you from earning only “now money” to building more “later money” too.
That is the bigger purpose of this section: helping you use income to create more options, not more chaos.
