And here I have been paying for electricity. Why didn’t I think of this?

Is there still money to be made mining these days for individuals? Or is it more of a hobby/supporting the network kind of thing nowadays?

It really depends on your electricity price and if you can setup and run it yourself. Long term you can mine it for less money then buying it. If you are selling Bitcoin each month to pay the electricity bill, things can go the wrong way quickly.
