I started watching _Fairy Tail_ and have just finished the Galuna Island arc
where, _once again_ , the reward is turned down for pointless "moral" reasons.

Unlike _One Piece_ (where they can just steal/procure food and such), they do
actually require money for paying rent and such.

Do we ever actually see Natsu's party claim a reward? Otherwise, where do they
get their money from to pay their living cost?

Where does Natsu and his party get money from, to pay their living cost?


As Aki Tanaka has recommended. I have expanded my previous comment as an
official answer. Fairy Tail is guild noted pre-time skip and post-time skip
for two things:

  1. Blowing s*** up
  2. Getting the job done

The guild hall has been destroyed completely on more than one occasion along
with towns and villages being blown to the ground due to battles, scuffles and
even arguements amongst members. This is shown early on from Natsu v Gray,
Natsu v Erza, and pretty much Natsu v anything.

It's shown in a few episodes that Natsu and the team take a job and either
don't feel comfortable taking the reward because it got done in a round about
way (like in Lucy's first job) or the money that they were supposed to get
winds up getting donated by the guild to rebuild what ends up getting
destroyed.

Now to answer the question as to how these guys even survive, this comes from
two things.

The first is pretty obvious which is that not all of their members outright
end up destroying stuff, some of their top-tier wizards (Gildarts,Erza,
Mystogen, Lauxus, etc) do take jobs that pay lucratively high and bring home
the bacon which happens to cover it.

The second is up to speculation and there are some theories out there. But the
cannonical answer is that the plot demands it. The heros are supremely
powerful but kept in check constantly by the laws of the society in which they
reside. Kind of like how Luffy and the strawhats are rarely ever shown being
stocked up on ship supplies.
