I've read some examples on the expression "earn your keep" but I don't really understand how it differs from "earn your living". From the
definitions I've found in dictionaries (and from my experience) they are very close in meaning (i.e. both mean "get money to pay for the
things you need to live"), but there must be some nuance I'm not getting.
Are they interchangeable?
Thank you in advance.
