“The Real Threats to Passive Income — A Simple Guide for Everyday Investors

Most investors think the biggest threat to their passive income is a stock market crash. But the real dangers are quieter, more common, and far more destructive — even when the market is doing just fine. In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield and Autumn Bennett break down the hidden risks that can quietly erode wealth and derail financial freedom. We explain these threats in simple, everyday language so regular investors can understand what truly matters. You’ll learn why inflation, lifestyle creep, taxes, emotional investing, and poor decision‑making often do more damage than any bear market ever could — and what you can do to protect your income for the long run. Because building passive income is only half the battle. Protecting it is where real financial freedom begins.
