Here are some possible key facts extracted from the text:
1. Index funds are a type of investment that contain a small portion of everything in a market or sector, allowing investors to diversify and reduce risk.
2. Index funds are usually cheaper to manage and have lower fees than actively managed funds, and they often outperform professional portfolio managers over the long term.
3. Index funds can generate passive income for investors in two ways: dividends and growth.
4. Dividends are payments made by companies to shareholders from their profits, and they vary depending on the type of index fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividends, depending on the source and holding period of the investment.
5. Growth is the increase in value of the index fund over time, as the market or sector expands and becomes more efficient. Growth is not taxed until the investor sells the index fund, and it is taxed at the long-term capital gains rate.
6. To make $100 a day passively from index funds, an investor would need to have $1.85 million invested at a 2% dividend yield, or $920,000 invested at a 4% withdrawal rate, assuming an 8% annual return.
7. Investing consistently and patiently in index funds is one of the easiest ways to build wealth and achieve financial independence, without requiring much time, skill or effort.
