Believe It or Not, These Stocks Pay You to Own Them

Most (or all) of us would love extra income, but few of us are eager to take on a second job in order to get it. Fortunately, there are other ways to get extra income -- including passive income.

Passive income is hard to beat because it requires little effort from you. Once you buy an annuity, for example, you can sit back and collect regular income from it. Using certain cash-back credit cards can deliver modest amounts of passive income, too. Dividends from stocks are one of the best kinds of passive income, with the stocks essentially paying you to own them.
