The Zi Wei and Tian Ji stars we just discussed both belong to regular income. That is, working for others and drawing a fixed salary is called regular income. Windfall wealth is when you do business as a boss. The bosses of all the big businesses in the world, big or small, even the owner of the grocery store at your door — none of them knows how much they'll earn next month; that's called windfall wealth. If you know you'll draw 1 wan (ten thousand) yuan next month, that's regular income."
