I am 53 and have had a sideline for 18 years which makes about a 1/4 of an average salary.

I believe people are meant to have one job, unless poverty or circumstance is driving their financial needs.

If your sideline is not making money consider dropping it.

When you enjoy something like programming, and people giving you positive feedback, you don't sometimes consider the bigger questions. Am I happy? What am I doing with my life and relationships?

A sideline worked for me as it has made hundreds of thousands and changed my family's life.

If yours is a hobby, consider stopping it, and see if it comes back to you down the line.
