I have to admit, I had to think about that one twice, changed it a few times until it captured exactly what I was saying in English. In Dutch, I noticed, one would rather / more automatically say (...bladiebladiebla...)
Today the right Dutch translation just came to me:
Ik verdien 3500 euro per maand als schrijver en ben daar dankbaar voor.
Gosh, I wonder what was so hard about that!
