Does anyone make a living from selling apps?

I have 2 apps on in the iStore, and another nearly ready to go. I was wondering if anyone generates a regular income from their apps, and if so how many do you have. I would love to generate more residual income, and leave my current job.

I believe @BigDave is earning his living solely making games with Gamesalad.

Can you post a link to your games, so we can check them out?

Yes, Totally Yes. But, not every game "takes off" so leaving your job to create an app with game salad is VERY Risky, I wouldn't advise it unless your game takes off.

Few artists can make a living off their craft.

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments.
The apps I have on the store are not games. I built them in Xcode, and they have been on the store for years, and not updated, however they are both getting a facelift and more features shortly

Final Grade
This app is a simple grade calculator for teachers. I use it myself...as I am a teacher.

Texas Holdem Tournament Player

This app is a utility to use while you play online poker tournaments. I used to have a website with statistics, and videos etc about the app and it's success rate, but life got in the way for awhile. Now I am making my life about following my dreams, and writing games and apps to sell online.

I have made a bit over $1000 off both apps in the time they have been for sale with no marketing or updates.
