Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm done with accounting for now, I'm looking to try something else. If money becomes tight I can always come back and take back my old job, they are pretty nice.

Sure no problem. In that case, if your goal is only about $1,000 a month, I would suggest just going after WordPress / web design / low-level type stuff. Especially if you are comfortable with doing support roles. There are a lot of remote support jobs for small companies that pay modestly but are open to pretty much anyone. Depending on the company, they are a good on-ramp to being technical.
Maybe you should consider pivoting from accounting to software in a controlled manner. That is try to progress towards software development positions where accounting know-how is required. Good luck.
