> I also have a young family so I need to be careful with my time commitments. Any suggestions?

Spend time with your family? Time is the only thing you can't buy. How are you going to start a side business and earn income if you aren't willing to trade time with your family? There's only 24 hours in a day.

If you are a software engineer who is so poorly paid you need to look for side income, maybe look for another job? Unemployment is at all-time lows and companies are desperate for tech talent.

I can understand baristas looking for side income, why would a software engineer need one?

^ This is the right answer. Find another, better paying day job. That shouldn’t be super hard if you’re in the US. Do not steal time from your family, you will 100% regret it eventually, guaranteed.
