Most investors think the biggest threat to their passive income is a stock market crash.

They're wrong.

In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield and Autumn Bennett discuss the real dangers that can quietly destroy wealth and derail financial freedom—even when the market is performing well.

You'll learn why inflation, lifestyle creep, taxes, emotional investing, and poor decision-making often do more damage than any bear market ever could.

The goal isn't just building passive income.

The goal is protecting it.

Because financial freedom isn't about avoiding every challenge—it's about building a plan strong enough to survive them.

Most investors start with a number—$5,000 a month, $8,000 a month, maybe even more. But where did that number come from? And does it actually fit your life?

In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield and Autumn Bennett walk through how passive income needs change through different stages of life—from the growth years in your 20s and 30s to the transition years approaching retirement.

This episode is all about matching your portfolio to your stage of life.

Because growth builds wealth…

And income protects freedom.

It’s one of the biggest debates in investing—and the answer may depend more on your stage of life than you think.

In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield and Autumn Bennett break down the differences between growth investing and income investing, the strengths of each approach, and how they can work together to build long-term wealth.
