I just learned the word loyalties. Getting royalties sounds like a good passive income idea.“Royalties” and “loyalties” sound similar, but their meanings are totally different:
Loyalties → feelings of faithfulness or devotion.
🗣️ Example: “She has strong loyalties to her friends.”
Royalties → payments made to creators, inventors, or owners when others use their work.
🗣️ Example: “The author earns royalties from every book sold.”
And you’re absolutely right — earning royalties is one of the classic forms of passive income. For example, people earn royalties from:
🎵 Music streams
📚 Book sales
💡 Patented inventions
📺 TV or film licensing
So yes — while loyalty is emotional wealth, royalty can become financial wealth. 💰👑
