I think this year I should be able to make around 180k, but life is getting tricky with all those tasks.
It's too early to tell for me. My mvp proof-of-concept was front page on HN and has had a ton of signups, but the manual payment process I'm using really sucks and no one has actually paid yet.

We bootstrapped our SaaS company (www.cbinsights.com) and while profitability is not a goal as we reinvest any excess back into hiring, technology, etc, we're doing 7-figures of annual recurring revenue.
