Is it correct?
  

Top answer

It is not a correct sentence and does not seem to be even approximately a concessive sentence. As far as I can tell, concessive sentences have contrasting elements set off using "although" or similar. " The nearest correct sentence to yours appears to be "I do this (in order) to have an extra income".
