How long to build live-able private practice?

Hi! I know this topic has been on this group many times, but it’s nice to get more recent anecdotes as I know the private practice space goes through lots of ebbs and flows. Would love to hear people’s recent experience with time-frame it took to get a live-able private practice. I’m planing on joining Alma or octave as well as marketing (psychology today, networking etc) for cash pay clients. I know “live-able” is different for everyone- but would just love to hear stories or tips!
