This. What are your living expenses each month OP? You should move up in no time unless you eat up all your profits each month.
I really hate it when ppl say, "Oh, there's no point in playing stakes lower than $50/$100/$x for a living," or "there's no point in being pro if you make <100k a year" etc etc.
If you can make $1500/month, and live on $1000, then that's a decent profit and you can start moving up stakes. Poker is about freedom, not making a really high $/hour. People on these forums have such a skewed idea of the value of money.
I would always choose to make $10/hour grinding, (knowing that the real figure is much higher as I will be making $100/hour in x months time) over making $20+/hour working a soul-destroying 9-5.
