how much to be made

So yesterday I lost my job. 16 years with the same company and now I am a victim of downsizing. Lucky me. I've sold porn online for a couple years part time and made a fair amount for what I've put into it.
I've read peoples posts who claim they make 5 grand plus a month doing this for a living. I was wondering what the average person makes who does this fulltime. Is their an industry average for the adult webmaster? Those that make 5 grand plus, are they spending 4795 dollars of it on advertising? or is that mostly profit.
I ask because I'm evaluating my options. One of those options is selling porn fulltime. But with a wife and kids and mortgage, I need to make choices based on what the facts are. Those of you that are married with kids, do you support your families doing this or do you have a day job as well?
I've loved selling porn since the first time I got a web publishing program and figured out how to center a pussy in the middle of a page and this is really what I want to do. I'm willing to take the risk but I guess I am trying to figure out if I can make enough and still feed the kiddies as well.
Thanks.

I would try to find another day job while you work on your porn projects at night.

I agree, at the end of the day "selling porn" also means becoming an entrepreneur, and there's a BIG difference between working for someone else and running your own company.

There's a lot to learn on both fronts.

Dude, you must have a lot of fingers. I wanna handjob!

5k / month is a pretty insignificant amount.

Entrepreneur: Either you are one or you aren't

I was being sarcastic, but really most of the people here don't make even close to $5k/month....
