make $2000 pretax in passive income each month

I thought I wanted to just make a certain amount of money per month (ha, “just”!). Thinking about it today, though, I realized that what I really want is to make enough money through passive means (selling hosting, advertising, etc… basically recurring payments with little effort) that I can work on whatever odd project strikes my fancy at any moment. That would be a wonderful thing, and I’m going to make it happen.
