The actual definition of "Earn" is "to gain or get in return compensation through merit for one's labor or service: to earn one's living
It seems you know nothing about you're talking about. Way, way before you were even colonized we had the verb "ganar", and the expression "ganarse la vida", which means exactly "to earn one's living". And I can say it in 5-10 different ways. Every European here will tell you the same about their respective languages. And last time I checked you were talking an european language.
