Is Putting a Paywall on Forum Content Greedy or Smart?

Like for a premium upgrade to hidden boards and content?

Do you think this is a smart strategy to increase money for your financial goals?

Or do you feel like it's being greedy?

It depends on the content. If it's really really really valuable, then I think it's a smart strategy. But this also depends on the audience you're catering to. What's valuable for one, is garbage for the other.

Yes. Very true, especially the last part.

That's where it's so important to know your target audience, their pain points, needs, and wants. Then you create valuable content based on those things.
