EN: is self-supporting; is providing for oneself
The adulting dream. You're paying your own bills, buying your own groceries, and funding your own milk tea addiction. You've graduated from 'palamunin' to 'breadwinner' (even if it's just for yourself). This is the 'Sana all' of every fresh grad stuck in a BPO night shift.
"Sustento" is from Spanish "sustento" (sustenance, support).
A common phrase to describe financial independence. 'Nagsusustento' is the present progressive form of 'magsustento'.
