I've been asking myself this very same question for some time now. One thing to consider is the idea of income that scales well, though this is not easy. Examples of income that scale well might be a successful app, a hit song, etc, contrary to the linear scaling of hourly wages. Essentially, I think it's a good idea to consider developing avenues of income in which the ratio of profit earned to work performed has potential to increase exponentially. Of course this isn't a secure mode of income, so perhaps it is best in tandem with secure income pursuits and sources.
