neutral  AllegroTrans: you generate income, the livelihood follows(provided you have enough dosh)

  -> thanks Allegro, I did think of putting "income", it's a good idea! But I opted for "livelihood" because that is the closest meaning of "sustento" in English. Very kind regards - Deborah

agree  Jessica Noyes: Yes. "Income-generating" is the correct buzz-word for this.
