Well, our family has always lived a very simple and basic existence. I even trim my own curls. So although money is important, we're not trying to pay off a house either. $1200 per month on my end would be lower than what I made waiting tables, but a major step up from where we are now. And right now, we're somehow surviving well with one income. (shocks even me)
In your situation it could go either way, but if you want to pay the house off this year then I wouldn't go into self publishing with that in mind. However, I could be totally wrong and if you put 4 novels out this year then who knows what that'll do for you.
@Pauline: thank you for weighing in. You speak exactly right in that the levels of Indie author incomes vary.
So Maiden, if you want a sure bet, I wouldn't count that being self-publishing. Some hit it big. MOST DON'T. And there's nothing wrong with doing it on the side either, although it seems that you're thinking about focusing your efforts on one thing and I can't bame you for that as there's only so much of us as one person to go around.
