This really only works well when you have no second mortgage, your
spouse works, and your wife's salary can pay at least for the two cars
and the house, with your salary handling everything else. Otherwise, it
takes time to build up enough projects and momentum to get to a point
of being able to run a family on what you're talking about. That is,
unless you wrote a software package that seems to be really hot. That's
at least what I'm doing for now. I'm tolerating my no-nothing, abusive
boss for now, doing server operations when I hate it, and then writing
the "killer app" on the side that I plan to release in a FOSS
environment (free) and make money from indirectly (or get bought out,
JBoss style).
