Have you considered that your day job is a revenue stream that lets you work on the personal projects you want?

If that's the case, then just give yourself permission to make what you really want to make.

I get what you're saying, but having a few scant hours outside of work doesn't really qualify, at least in terms of quality of life. I'm talking about revenue-producing projects that I work on full time, and potentially have enough revenue to hire one or two others onto as well, and then have free time to actually relax.

I can sympathize. Just don't burn out... let yourself code for fun every now and then. :)
