If I got my side project to generate $2k/month it would no longer be my side project!

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

  • (?) 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.
