If you want to live modestly, cover your basic needs in the smallest fraction of your time possible so you can work on other things, what is the best path to take?

What types of businesses are most suited to that? (Only thing that comes to mind is Bingo Card Creator.)

Where do I find other developers and entrepreneurs shooting for that goal without getting drowned in the spammy noise that the theme of (semi-)passive income brings with it?

I'm not just talking about bootstrapping. I'm talking about making specific decisions so that you can put in time in the beginning but with the clear goal that once you reach a certain monthly recurring revenue, the thing you optimize from there is the time you spend achieving that revenue, not its growth.

Note that the answer "it's impossible" doesn't count. In the spectrum between zero maintenance effort and being a full-time business owner there must be tons of opportunity. What's the lowest amount of hours needed to make X amount of money? Or what's the highest amount of money possible to sustain with Y weekly hours?

And where do I learn about how to do it and find people with the same goal to grow with?

Thanks!

P.S.: if you look for Garrett Dimon's post on Recurring Revenue vs Disability Insurance, you will see how this is not about living the easy life, but having a little safety net when things go really wrong for a really long time. His quote:

"No source of income beats creating something that makes money while you’re asleep. Or sick. Or in the hospital. Or busy caring for a loved one."
