I receive donations for my writing, coding, and art. I do some tutoring, too, which pays alright. I'm not a conventional developer, but I'm more than happy with the freedom I have and I feel I can really appreciate the things I have a lot more because of my self-imposed poverty.

Could you go into a bit more detail on how you do this?
I have a PayPal link on my site requesting donations, and for whatever reason, a lot of people donate money. That's all there really is to it. It's linked from my twitter page, so maybe generous people who enjoy reading my posts there stumble across it.
Thanks :)
