There is a poster from Russia who posts here. He said if makes 300 US a month he is making more than the average Moscowvite. How hard is this if he just bonus hustles and plays break even poker?

Not hard at all. I think that most USA players don't realize how large the income differential is between industrialized and developing countries for individuals with similar skillsets.

Those who think you need a large capital base to cover up front losses are nuts. Start at micro limits and follow a rule.. say, move up when you hit 200BB at the next limit, down if you hit 150BB at current limit. It takes minimal restraint, might cost some EV but basically limits ruin to zero.
