A full-time engineer with multiple side hustles found the most passive one: ATMs and vending machines earn him $1,500 a month for a few hours of work

""It's essentially your employer that you don't have to pay. It's doing the transaction for you.""

""The more I looked into it, the more I was like, 'OK, there's really no risk in trying this, outside that original financial obligation of $2,500 to buy the ATM.'""

His entrepreneurial spirit, sparked by the need for additional income after becoming a parent, led him to pursue this venture.
