Owltoid- Not quite yet but I am close, but only because my monthly expenses are low. No car payments, no mortgage/rent, no credit card bills. One thing about book sales, they have specific trends throughout the year. December and January you will see more books sold than any other time of the year. Middle of the summer like July and August, you will be lucky to sell 1/10 of that. So you need to learn how to budget surplus months for the deficit months. This having been an election year played havoc with sales, but December seems to be making up for that already.

Right now I work as a property manager for a resort.
