the staff of life
хлеб насущный [этим. библ. Leviticus XXVI, 26, Psalms CV, 16]

‘...You don't approve of my painting, which is after all my staff of life.’ ‘I may not approve of your painting, as such. But I don't object to your being paid for it.’ (L. P. Hartley, ‘The Hireling’, ch. XV) — - ...ты не одобряешь мои занятия живописью, хотя это мой хлеб насущный. - Я не одобряю твои занятия живописью как таковые, но я не возражаю, когда тебе платят за них.
