There's a lot of clarity to be gained by decomposing the question of "a living" into its parts.

How do you plan to continue the processes of gaining sustenance and economic power as needed? Do you own the land or capital needed for your sustenance or do you need to trade for them? If you need to trade, what assets or capabilities do you have to trade?

How well are these guarded against theft, cyberattack, romance scams against you, quasi-legal expropriation and changes in the legal system that eliminate your status of having property rights?

We'd better hope that robotic replacements for human hands aren't soon in coming.
