how do you not "sell out" but still get enough money to get by and more by making music a serious career?
Start out as a pop act and mature into something more interesting
Don't change your music in the interest of making money
People will call you a sellout anyway but at least you'll know you haven't sold out

thats what im saying, how does one do that and still make money
If you're good at what you do you're gonna get paid for it. There's no such thing as selling out.
Actually like popular music
Just be like bob Dylan

Hope that what you have to say is what people want to hear
Make indie garbage aimed towards special snowflakes who will think your music is "obscure" and "quirky", despite it being insanely popular due to such people.

But what if I wish I was someone just a little more funky?
