Key Point Summary

  • Fixed income is regular and predictable, while fluctuating income goes up or down.
  • Money income is cash in hand, but real income is what goods/services that money can actually buy.
  • Earned income is for work done; unearned income is by chance, not effort.
  • Contractual is promised by agreement; residual is what remains after all payouts.
