Yup, I'm the same way. If I could work in FOSS, I'd be happy to take a pay cut, but FOSS doesn't pay anywhere near good enough. So it'll remain a hobby.

As such, I'm pretty reasonable about what needs to be open source, and what's fine being proprietary. For example:

• OS - must be FOSS
• games - proprietary is fine, but no privileged access (e.g. kernel level anti-cheat)
• web browser - must be FOSS
• web services - proprietary is fine, provided they don't collect a creepy amount of info about me

Basically, the more risk there is of a security issue, the more I expect it to be FOSS. And I'm willing to help out too. I've submitted patches to Lemmy and other FOSS projects I use, and I'll donate something similar to what I'd pay for a proprietary app for certain projects.
