Just want to say thank you. I joined this subreddit some years back and it inspired me to work considerably less hard at my job and use the saved energy to build something for myself.
I made a chess game. Had never made a game before but thought it would be fun. It now averages around $10 a day, which isn't mind-blowing but it certainly takes the edge off the inflation. I look at it as an extra months pay per year, which is really nice.
I would totally recommend starting your own small business. No boss is ever going to pay you properly and earning a passive income feels great even if its not much!
