Most authors do not make enough not to have a day job, even some who opt not have one. The majority of them barely make enough to make their royalties a meaningful supplement to their regular income.
If you are writing for the money, you probably shouldn't be an author.
And as this thread will no doubt inevitably descend into an "evil publishers" love fest, it is worth noting that the majority of books do not even make back the publisher's initial investment, meaning that in those cases every cent the author made is a cent more than the publisher did.
