I was in the same situation as you are - at one time I realized that instead
of running after side gigs I should just find a full time job that will enable
me to earn as many money as I need, instead working 12+ hours/day (8hrs + side
gigs). In overall, that was the greatest solution I made - it reduces
possibility of the burnout etc.

I support all the other suggestions so far. I would also suggest considering
something outside your skill set. I have a buddy who does lawn care on the
side as a weekend gig. Maybe other things considered more blue collar. My
cousin is a pool boy in SoCal. He was making over $100k a year before he
backed off due to health reasons.

Without knowing the numbers, location, family (ability to move city/country),
experience level etc. It is hard to say.

But most likely the best bet is to find out how you can earn more money from
those core 40h/week. Best for you to come up with a strategy based on your
circumstances and tolerances. There is a lot of good advice in HN if you
search on [https://hn.algolia.com](https://hn.algolia.com). And look for
patio11 posts, as he has posted alot about money and getting more of it. I
think the golden nugget is don't tell a future employer what you are earning
now. My advice - don't be embarrassed to be earning double what you are
earning now for doing the same thing somewhere else.

Options to think about: Contracting, Skills that pay more (React?), Companies
that can pay more (trading companies? FAANG companies?), Cities that pay more,
Countries that pay more, Roles that pay more (management, architect),
Negotiation with current employer (will they pay more if you say you might
leave).

Don't trade your spare time for money. Trade time for making your time worth
more money.

 I was in the like situation as you are - at one time I realized that alternatively 
 of running after side gigs I should merely find a full prison term job that will enable 
 me to earn equally many money as I need, instead working 12 + hours / day (8hrs + side 
 gigs). In overall, that was the great solution I made - it reduces 
 possibility of the burnout etc.
