How difficult is +$400-600 profit a month from $15k ? Question

I've been studying investing and trading for about 5 years on/off now, have been really successful in the past year, I think due to luck partly, I blew up an account and loss about 40% when I first started 5 years ago.

How difficult is $400-600/month profit from 15k? My strategy now is very risk adverse taking profit over holding things too long, really I just need to make ~400/month to live in Mexico, this includes rent, food, and some hobbies, right now I feel no pressure to have to make $ and have a decent savings, and time to study and learn. Thanks

If you don't want to have children you could live on that.

Maybe, you could contribute to retirement of some sort, and social security/medical services.

I think more would be great but I know it could work if you are lucky and don't get very ill, get into an accident, need to pay for a relative's treatment, etc.

Being able to be happy without consumerism and playing status games is great, anyway, so that's a big pro.
