Or they might not have any wealth. They might live in a society that has a guaranteed minimum monthly income paid by the government. Or they might have a pension from a former job. Or they might have a family that sends them remittances every month, as long as they stay far enough away not to embarrass anyone. Independent Income is tied to Wealth only notionally.
