- jf22 6y agoSame, I realized that spending 2 years to get to 1k in profit a month from a SaaS or something was a lot harder than just getting a job that paid me 12k more.

- gengarhunter 6y agoFor the entrepreneurial people, it’s rarely about the $$ amount. The money made from a side project feels x100 better than a salary in increase.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoThat makes sense until you realise you've spent 10 years working and you'll have to work full-time for the foreseeable future because you don't have a 5k monthly (quasi) passive income
- jf22 6y agoPassive income is rarely passive.
- quantumofalpha 6y ago1k a month passive profit from a SaaS is worth a lot more than 12k extra salary. A full time job requires full time labor to continue producing income. Whereas SaaS hopefully almost none to maintain it, has a better growth potential than your salary raises, and when you're tired of running it, it's an asset you might be able to sell to somebody else.
- xupybd 6y agoIt's vary rare to get a SaaS that requires no ongoing development.
- tjs8rj 6y agoSide hustles can also turn into a new job. What starts as a small YouTube channel can become 2x your annual salary with a fraction of the effort. A side project could turn into a full fledged business. While obviously uncommon with side projects, the chance this happens in the labor market is essentially 0.
