Not software related, but my sister makes and sells simple candlesticks online for that much each month.

I also resold earbuds/earplugs online for a years to get $1000-1500/mo. Seemed like a viable side project only taking up an hour or so every night to prepare packages, and then an extra 20 minutes to swing by the post office each morning.

Like others said, it's always a good idea to reduce your spending and try to save. You can even use that savings to occasionally fund projects without feeling too bad if something fails.

That is interesting about your sister. I've been thinking of doing something similar, do you know if she uses a platform like Etsy to sell her stuff?

Yes, she sells via Etsy. I would link her store page for the curious, but sellers on Etsy are really homogenous and so you can glean the same info from any of them probably.
