[ATLA] How does the group make money?

Normally I wouldn't ask, but they keep calling attention to it by needing to buy stuff and make money. They're sometimes struggling, and sometimes Sokka has enough to buy a man purse. 

Where does this money keep coming from?

They're often given donations or rewards by people they helped out on the road. During book 1 they were relatively poorly off, but during book 2 they had some money that the chief of the Northern Water Tribe gave them, plus eventually access to Toph's connections and ability to call in favors as a member of the Bei Fong family. During book 3 Toph ran a series of scams in the fire nation that also contributed to their coffers.
