I think it's a good goal to work towards. Second, it's one less thing to worry about. You could easily get by on half of that if your American Dream is different.

As a software developer, I've always dreamt of making enough money, or getting funded to the point where I can make my own software.

Recruiters often remind me that programmers are a dime a dozen, so chasing projects can be frustrating.

My 'workaround' to a lack of funding is to develop my first game (that I designed) on the weekends. The only drawback is it takes a lot longer.

The sweetest advantage to weekend software projects? I can focus on making a game that I know will be fun and sell well. That aspect has always been out of my control for my previous projects, where the focus is creating another's vision of an app or game.

You can check out my apps at bensapps.neocities.org for previous client work.
