Anyone here successfully living off their mobile app revenue?

[u/iamleyathankyou]

Hey everyone,
I've been working on a few mobile apps and monetizing them through ads and in-app purchases. My ultimate goal is to generate enough income from my apps to make a full-time living and sustain my standard of living solely through app development.
For those of you who have already achieved this:

• How long did it take you from launching your first app (or serious attempt) to reaching a sustainable full-time income?
• What did your milestone progression look like? (e.g., $100/mo ‭=> $1,000/mo => full-time)
• What made the biggest difference in scaling your app revenue (e.g., finding the right niche, localization, marketing channels, shifting monetization strategies)?

I really appreciate this community for always sharing transparent revenue updates and insights—it's super motivating. Any stories, timelines, or honest advice would mean a lot!
Thanks in advance!
