Question

What is the difference between RELIABLE and UNRELIABLE sources of income?

Answer 1

Reliable income is a source of income that’s consecutive. An example would be a job, as you can rely on getting a paycheck for working.

Unreliable income is a source of income that’s not consecutive. An example would be a summer job, or mowing a lawn.

The key difference is: Is this a constant source or not a constant source of money.

Answer 2

Reliable income is something you can “rely” on, or income you will always receive.

Unreliable income is something you can’t always rely on because you might not be able to access it forever.
