Freelanced for 5 years to build enough capital, poured every cent of it in crypto since 2017, and can now live off my savings for ~15 years.
I am still coding and learning, but not fulltime. Maybe 2-3 hours a day.
Will go back to work at some point but probably part time.
Disclaimer: not every week, sometimes I feel like working/coding and work way above 40 hour weeks.
My tasks to keep money flowing however come down to maybe 3 hours a week.
I've worked years to get there, but the majority of my income today comes from:
- 'creative' affiliate sites
- random crypto investments
- a local e-commerce project
I've had AdSense sites and a 'small' SAAS too. But I've sold those. The e-commerce is so that I avoid imposter syndrome (or so), because it's the only income I can actually touch that is more than a few files on a harddrive.
However, I am not rich. I am able to pay back dept from years of trying and life a enjoyable life, which is all I ever targetted for.
