Hey, my main goal for the app was actually to learn iOS and all about releasing and marketing an app. I didn't care to set financial goals for it really. I'm definitely aware (and have been) that it's a time investment, and I can't afford to sink my resources into it forever.

But even if the app fails in the end, the skills I've gained in going through the process of building and releasing the app should pay off in the long run, whether that's in making another app or freelancing or finding another full-time gig.

Fantastic! This is definitely a great way to learn and it will pay off. Congrats!
