Did you pay your taxes already ? I wonder what would be your after-tax income ? Again, $2.5k is still very low even for Eastern Europe. From my own experience, I strongly recommend NOT to quit your day job. Try to run it at least for a year, then you will make a way better decision.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
it seems to work out with advertising, as it is for more and more app developers because you just get so much more installs without a pricetag on it. Most devs dont have any marketing muscle, so free apps with advertising often is a good approach.
Do you do any marketing/promotion at all, or just stick your Apps up on the Market?

After-tax would be around $2k (the effective tax rate for the self employed is 19%). You can live very comfortably on this in Poland.
