Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while owning an ATM machine can provide a decent baseline income, it is not entirely predictable. Income can vary based on location, transaction volume, and maintenance costs. It’s more stable than some side hustles due to recurring transaction fees, but factors like machine downtime or changes in foot traffic can introduce variability. It’s not a 2 because there is a consistent revenue stream, but not a 4 because it lacks the predictability of a regular paycheck.
