No need for an income at all if you are going to be a monk.

This is the problem with modern spirituality, we take teachings meant for ascetics and try to apply it without a teacher to our, very far from acetic life.

Mediation s goal isn't to help you be more productive. Prayer isn't for getting a better car or in lieu of life insurance.

There are some useful lessons to be drawn, though. One of them being that even the monks will kick you out if you just slack off all day.
