In many places (most places), it would be hard for 2k/month be your full income.


> In many places (most places)

You might benefit from looking more broadly (friendly suggestion).


Your "friendly suggestion" is extremely rude.


Stating that 2k/month is not enough income for "most places" is ridiculous and rude in a way too. Was an unnecessary comment.


No offense intended. I was merely pointing out that it’s not much for many places and many would not be able to leave a full-time job for that. Keep in mind that this is approximately the poverty line for the United States so it might be hard for most people to leave a full-time gig for that.

It’s a nice start though!


(?) That's higher than min wage (post taxes) in most western countries, for most small saas/web projects/apps with small operating costs that's plenty


Not many people would be able to give up their day job for a saas that has a revenue of slightly more than minimum wage.


I think the point is it would probably be well worth spending more time on. Either tapering off employed work, or being underpaid/using savings for a little bit while you push to increase it.

At least, that was my reaction too, and it seems echoed by many of the people sharing their ('no longer a side') projects.
