@visionsmind No no, it's no intrusive at all, feel to ask me anything if this is not answering all your questions.
So, by job I mean 9 to 5, or even freelance. I don't do either freelance not office work, I live on about 9000$/year, our main income is Patreon, it account for about about 90% of our incoming.
@neauoire Thank you! Hah so its crowd funding. Are the patrons doing it for the maintenance/work you guys do with your projects and FOSS stuff? There's a lot of ppl using patreon as income but I see mostly providing either entertainment or educational/resources (esp on YouTube) in exchange. It also seems to require some community surrounding the project. But damn it's so cool that that's a possibility but yet feels so foreign/unattainable.
