In my universe, I make that (net even, not gross) in half a year with essentially zero responsibility for marketing, taxes, customer support, etc. - nobody can realistically steal my work and cut into my wages with it - far less stress - and I keep making that over and over again every 6 months without having to do anything really that new or different.

In comparison, a game that grossed $100k, which I have to pay self-employment taxes on, and perhaps app store fees out of that too, sounds awfully mediocre, at best.

Do you have a game or other kind of app?

I think GP is referring to a w2 job or consulting gig.

LOL, yep, it's tongue in cheek, did not catch that.

He has a point. But as an entrepreneur, I'll probably go through all of this again and again and again. Can't help myself.

Correct.
